Setting

The setting is significant to the crime drama because it displays the immediate sense of what sort of crime drama it is. When the setting is glamourous like CSI: Miami, the use of discovering the murderer is usually technology based however if the setting is gritty then most things are done independently with a group of people, hardly including technology and more use of the mind is involved. When thinking of a gritty setting it would connotate dirt, independence and anger. More violent, satisfied murders would happen in a gritty setting because of the fact the bodies would be harder to find and there wouldn't be as many suspects to call the police and catch the murderer. TV Crime Dramas like CSI consist of glamourous settings and murders are less frequent but are significant. When you think of places like Miami you instantly think of the beach, relaxing and having fun but when a murder occurs it is big news to a place like this. Miami is a successful city including many professions whereas a gritty area wouldn't have major jobs, but issues jobs like teachers and shopkeepers.
