As of 3/3/2024
The following is a list of series from 1950-2023. Series within were in the top ten of both Trakt’s Popular & Trakt’s All Time Watched in each of their respective years. The exception to that sole guideline above was the years 1950-1955, where the top ten were cross reference as a group as opposed to individual years.
This list consists of CSI shows and other forensic investigation shows. The following is a breakdown of the CSI TV Series:

Based out of Washington, D.C., the team is supervised by Deputy Director Avery Ryan (Patricia Arquette) an esteemed Ph.D...

These are some of my favorite classic detective/law enforcement TV Shows I remember growing up. These shows are not a random copy and paste list. These are real shows I personally enjoyed. I don't believe in lists that contain 8,000 movies claiming that everyone must see before they die. Dumping tens of thousands of movies in a playlist to share is irresponsible to others. No one can be helped by that! It can only mean that you're not genuine with your "selection." In fact, you'd probably die before you actually even finish looking through that long list!!
