I’ve noticed both medical dramas and police dramas rely heavily on Californian legal practice, because Hollywood. For example, I just watched the episode of Doc (it’s literally just called Doc) where a doctor saved someone on the “DNR list” and almost got suspended, and so here I was thinking “the patient’s perspective would never fly in my environment”. Of course, though, the US (and definitely California) are not the whole world. So I was wondering, what’s an episode of a medical/police drama you could think of where, in your legal environment, the characters would seem crazy for diving into the topic of how they did?
Not directly related to the question, but Brazilian medical drama is nurses fighting to keep shit up and running on hospitals while medics clock in then head off to their particular clinics.
Brazil also still has separate military and civil polices, the former doing the legwork and shooting people, the latter doing actual investigations, so any USA-like police drama just wouldn’t work here.
Makes me wonder when someone is going to make a military drama.
