I like straight action shows also, doesnt need to be anything so clever like The Wire

Have you seen The Wire friend? If not, that's the best of the best.

Cool. What about Hillstreet Blues? That was a highly regarded 80's one if you want to go that route.

Does 24 count as a cop show?

"Homeland", "Luther" and I'm currently enjoying "Top of the Lake".
"Top of the Lake" is great, but I hesitate recommending it to people because of its pacing. I really like the atmosphere and slow character development, but it's not for everyone.
Despite a sketchy second season, "The Killing" is also great.

if you want semi-cop mystery shows, check out Monk, Psych, and the Mentalist. Mentalist is most cop show-ish of the three, but still not like NYPD Blue or The Shield or something.

I've heard good things about this one, but have never seen it. I think I'll add to the Netflix queue.
