Although there is a censorship system in China, the scale of crime dramas is not as large as that of Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, but there are many high-quality domestic crime dramas, but they are intentionally or unintentionally ignored for various reasons, and the scale of these dramas is already the largest in domestic dramas.
10. "In the Name of the People"
The whole drama revolves around a factory demolition case, focusing on various human natures under interests. Hou Liangping, the anti-corruption bureau chief who "parachuted in," is caught up in a huge corruption case on the Internet, and in the confusion of the tuantuan, the procurators are stripping off the bamboo shoots layer by layer, the deputy mayor is absconding overseas, and various political interest groups are following, and the suspense is intertwined. Lu Yi, Xu Yajun, Wu Gang, Hu Jing, Zhang Zhijian and others performed superbly, and the multi-faceted aspects of human nature were fully revealed.
9. China Criminal Investigation Case No. 1
The play tells the story of Bai Baoshan, who originally had a normal family, but fell into the abyss of sin because of a thought. The cruelty and nature of the criminal means presented in this drama have been extremely rare since the founding of New China, and the incident alarmed the high-level people, who were ordered to solve the case within a time limit, and were hailed as "the most authentic and reproduced extraordinarily serious criminal cases in China" as a documentary police drama.
8. "High Latitude Shudder"
The rhythm of the play is an attractive element, the advancement of the plot, coupled with the use of background music, the whole story is relaxed and told smoothly. Director Li Min looked like a "corrupt element", but in the end he blocked the bullet fired at Shao Changshui. The play better retains the sharpness of the ideas in the original work, and profoundly shows the complexity of the anti-corruption struggle in the new era.
7. "The Silent Witness"
The play uses a large number of modern high-tech detection methods, such as modern anatomy, pharmacology, criminal psychology and so on. The depiction of the drama in terms of detection methods is a subversion of the traditional means of solving cases in the drama, that is, the clues of "reasoning → to find reasoning evidence→ sort out clues→ to break through the psychological → of criminals" replace the means of "criminal evidence→ find crimes", which is refreshing.
6. "12.1 Shooting Murder Case"
The criminal police actors in the play are all cadres of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Xi'an Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the classic documentary films are shocking and thought-provoking after watching. The true performance of the Xi'an criminal police in the play and the wonderful and real plot make this series a classic in domestic crime dramas.
5. "Thirteen Murder Cases"
This is a truly refreshing play. The humanistic care and strong cautionary role presented by the play make it different from the traditional sense of the romance police film or the crime documentary, but more like a psychological exploration drama, behind its seemingly straightforward plot, derived is a simple and profound truth of reality: crime may be only one step away from us.
4. "Black Ice"
The "black" of this drama makes it impossible for the audience to distinguish between good people and bad people, and "ice" has captured the facial plot mode, which is an innovative and successful work in the TV series with public security themes. The male protagonist played by Wang Zhiwen, the twisted personality that makes the highly intelligent doctor degenerate into a criminal drug lord, is sad and lamentable; and the noble soul makes the ordinary police officer grow into a hero of anti-drug, which is gratifying and praiseworthy.
3. "Wings Can't Escape"
With a new perspective and technique, while describing the shocking criminal process of criminal Zhang Shihao in detail and meticulously, it also recounts Zhang Shihao's tortuous growth experience and his love-hate relationship with his wife Guo Jinfeng for nearly 20 years. Shockingly, this criminal group has shown a lot of evil deeds such as violent robbery, kidnapping and extortion, and arms smuggling. At the same time, it shows the story of the police working together, not afraid of hardships, and fighting with criminals.
2. "Never Look Away"
The drama reinterprets the emotional entanglement between Xiao Tong and the police officer Ou Qingchun, the daughter of the big drug lord Ouyang Lanlan, and the first love girlfriend Zheng Wenyan. Haiyan, who wrote "Plainclothes Policeman", put more attention into people's emotions when creating "Never Look Away" this time. The title has two meanings: one is that drugs can never be blinded; the other is whether China's youth can stand up when safeguarding national interests, otherwise Xiao Tong will not be blinded.
1. Conquest
This drama tells the story of deputy director Xu Guoqing who discovers that Liu Huaqiang is implementing a revenge plan, so he launches a hunt and counter-pursuit between police and bandits, revenge and prevention of revenge. Sun Honglei also gave Liu Huaqiang, the villain, unlimited charm, and what is more valuable is that he interpreted the psychological state of this character gradually alienated in the process of crime, and many paragraphs have a suffocating sense of tension.
