  "account": "The 2006 British limited series Low Winter Sun, later remade in 2013, follows Detroit police detectives Frank Agnew and Joe Geddes as they cover up the murder of a corrupt cop while dealing with organized crime. The show excels with its stacked cast, including Mark Strong and Lennie James, and its neo-noir writing by Chris Mundy. However, the American version may come off as overly grim.",
  "summary": "No one wants to run into a corrupt cop in real life, but these shows are proof that a maverick who doesn't play by the rules makes for great television.",
