The new year is a chance to look back and assess, making changes for the year ahead. We’re looking at the TV crime dramas and resolutions they should make.

We’re at the time of the year where it’s out with the old and in with the new. It’s the time of year we look back at what worked and what didn’t, looking at changes that are needed in the year ahead. Throughout the month of January, we’re using the time to look at the various TV crime dramas out there.

Each day, we’ll pick a different TV crime drama and share our one New Year’s Resolution that the drama should make. It could be a change in a specific element of the writing or a wish for a certain character or two.

Whether you’re into NCIS, Chicago PD, or looking forward to some of the newer crime dramas out there, this is a chance to break down what’s not working and how to make it right. And yes, there may be some newer dramas that make the list later in the month. After all, a number of new shows are premiering in January 2020, and there’s no doubt that some will make a few missteps here and there.

We’ll bring one New Year’s Resolution per day and only focus on one thing one show can change. We’re getting specific here. Sometimes, it’s important to focus on just one thing that is manageable to help a show succeed longer.

With each new post, we’ll update this list. The idea is that our introduction post becomes the one-stop-shop for all TV crime drama New Year’s Resolutions of 2020.
