Police Dramas
17. Miami Vice
The series follows Sonny Crockett and Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs, two Metro-Dade Police Department detectives working undercover in Miami. Unlike standard police procedurals, the show drew heavily upon 1980s New Wave culture and is noted for its integration of contemporary pop and rock music and stylish or stylized visuals.
👮♂️ Read a book set in Florida, or that is tagged as music or that is set or published in the 1980s.
18. Starsky and Hutch
The series' protagonists were two Southern California police detectives: Sergeant David Michael Starsky and Sergeant Kenneth Richard "Hutch" Hutchinson. Starsky is a dark-haired, Brooklyn transplant and U.S. Army veteran, with a street-wise manner and intense, sometimes childlike moodiness. Hutch is the divorced, blond, Duluth, Minnesota, native with a more reserved and intellectual approach. Under the radio call sign "Zebra Three", they were known for usually tearing around the streets of fictional Bay City, California.
👮♂️Read a book with a character who is divorced or a veteran or set in Minnesota.
19, Walker Texas Ranger
The show is centered on Sergeant Cordell Walker, a Dallas–Fort Worth–based member of the Texas Rangers, a state-level bureau of investigation. Walker was raised by his paternal uncle, an American Indian named Ray Firewalker. Prior to joining the Rangers, he served in the Marines' elite Recon unit during the Vietnam War. Both Cordell and Uncle Ray share the values characteristic of Wild West sheriffs.
👮♂️Read a book set in Texas or with a character who is an American Indian or where the first letter of each title word can be found in FIREWALKER.
20. Kojak
The series is set in the New York City Police Department's Eleventh Precinct. The show revolved around the efforts of the tough and incorruptible Lieutenant Theodopolus ("Theo") Kojak, a bald, dapper, New York City policeman, who was fond of Tootsie Pops and of using the catchphrases, "Who loves ya, baby?" and "Cootchie-coo!". Kojak was stubborn and tenacious in his investigation of crimes—and also displayed a dark, cynical wit, along with a tendency to bend the rules if it brought a criminal to justice.
👮♂️ Read a book where a character breaks or bends the rules or a character who eats candy or a character who asks someone if they love them.
