For some reason I am becoming addicted to British television. I think it is because their elderly are not all jokes in the story line as American drama does.
I got hooked on that Copper from the get-go - it's well written, acted and produced. Tom Fontana & Barry Levinson can manage such things!
And it's totally different to what "Law & Order, 19th Century Style" would be. Which is, I think, how anyone but the BBC or HBO (they'd do more blood & guts) would do.
If it was a US show, the little girl would be cuter, and she'd become an ex-officio assistant to Corcoran. As it is, he's just a bit more honest than I believe - which doesn't mean I don't like it.

Agreed. Of course, whenever I think "British is Better", I remember Benny Hill. Actually, that argument works both ways....
