CrimeSeen

If you enjoy TV crime shows, movies, and fiction, I invite you to join my Yahoo! Group CrimeSeen:

Introduction

I started CrimeSeen on December 29, 2001 to explore the image of crime as adapted for fiction, television, film and other media. I found most TV/film lists at the time centered on one or two shows or movies, treating the relationships between media without much scope or depth.

Boundaries of Discussion

Our primary focus is on professional investigators and criminals and their techniques as portrayed in the entertainment media. The tone of the material is flexible--from "Monk" to "The Shield"--but crime or mystery must be central to the character's work. Amateurs who unexpectedly stumble upon crimes or mysteries don't make the cut. Among other topics, we'll discuss so-called "cinematic" writers, what works or doesn't work onscreen, and ways film/performance may improve upon print.
