If you wanna watch some stories that don't have the cliche storylines of American shows, I'd highly reccomend watching Korean shows!
There's a lot of physical fights, rarely gunfights, and the shift in tones from super cute to super dark is unexpected.
The cops jumpkick criminals they first chased in a group.
The prosecutors do fieldwork and solve crimes.
The women very rarely show cleavage.
The product placements in the shows are hilarious and subtle.
They add cute noises or the sound of wind to emphasize emotional experiences.
There's tons of corruption.
There's usually some rich son of a chairman involved.
Some shows are extremely highly intelligently put together, and has us guessing the whole time, not even knowing what to guess for half the time, unlike American shows where you can usually guess the ending in one of the first episodes.
