There are quite a few differances between American and British crime drama:
For example- In American crime drama's everything is made more dramatic and the crimes are alot more serious and dramatic. We also see alot more serial killers in American crime dramas then British ones.
Also in American crime dramas it is definatley more usual for every single character to be good looking, as thats what they think that American audiences look for whereas in British crime drama there are usually a few good looking characters but also some average/ugly characters because they think that British audiences concentrate on the content of the programme and the characters personality more than what they look like.
