Movie Cliches

I hate when a package of cocaine or something is in a brown wrapping and to test to see if it's real, the buyer always cuts a slit in the package and takes a bit out with the knife tip.

That coke is gonna get all over the place now.

Don't drug dealers know about sealed baggies?

Where do they learn to package it all the same way? They even use the same brown tape!

There must be an “organized crime” package offered by 3M or something. That’s a lot of paper and plastic.

Sometimes people do, that's what grams are used for...

they don't... that's something that ALWAYS pisses me off when I watch any movie about trafficking. they NEVER get it right.
key's dont come all neat and uniform, large shipments are nearly always assembled with smaller units made by different factions and therefore are always different sizes and shapes and wrappings. Most of them are stamped with different logo's from the different families and factions. the best key's are the ones that are the most compact and small as they are dense and more pure than the larger bulbous kilos.

no time for small time buddy... that's how you get busted.

I think I could write a detective show. The detective will be brilliant but suffer from a tragic flaw, be it hubris, alcoholism, or drug addiction. Detective will be unshaven and dress poorly.

Next have the detective working with a rookie detective, one who will rat him out but then learn to appreciate his (or hers) brilliance.

The detective's supervisor should resent the detective's brilliance and seek to have him suspended, demoted, or fired.

Throw in a contemptible individual who will be a red herring. The audience will hate this character. Add a couple more red herrings.

Detective's tragic flaw will sideline him for an episode or two, but will return because no one else can solve the mystery.

Police will all be treated as complete morons. Medical examiner will be quirky but competent.

The detective will have a love interest, current or former, but rejection will result. The detective will continue his life as a loner.

Note: Most of the above will work for doctors with slight modifications.

Hopefully it would take place on a space huge intergalactic space station or perhaps some outpost colony...
:p

Well done. I'm a sucker for this storyline. Many hours spent seeing this one. Dept. Q is the latest. Will be awaiting your version.

I was thinking of Slow Horses. Have also discovered what some call Nordic Noir or Norwegian Noir.

I love me some Nordic Noir! Check out Trapped and The Chestnut Man, among many others. here's a good list.

Random Woman: Does he know?
Main Character: Does he know what?
Random Woman: *tilts head smiles softly and looks at her torso*
Main Character: *looks surprised, looks around quickly* No, he doesn't know yet.

^^100% of the time it's a wise woman of color, usually black or mexican. Then the man usually dies before she gets a chance to tell him.
