One thing I find refreshing of British cop shows is how things that are trivial in US shows just aren't possible.
Neither cops nor criminals go guns blazing everywhere, simply because having access to a gun is a big deal. An entire season of Line of Duty is about this.
Cops in threatening situations cannot simply pull a gun out of the blue. This forces scriptwriters to become a bit more creative about problem resolution.
Whenever you're tired of US cop shows, try a British show!
