Now-a-days TV dramas and crime novels are becoming very popular in most of the countries. The audience are now getting bored of watching and reading the repetitive genre of romance and action storylines. The crime script keeps them attached and intact to the twists and drama that is being shown.
I think the popularity of these shows and novels are because of the true story on which these novel and the shows are based on. The pre-criminal life of the individual, the activities of them in the prison and if somehow they try to flee from the custody of authorities, these are all depicted and crafted beautifully in the scenes, which enhances and excites the audience till the end. Further, these shows and books teaches a life lesson to the reader. Teaches in a way that guides them to avoid such acts in their life, the consequences of the wrong acts and the problems they and their families might face in the future.
I believe that globally the crime rates are increasing day by day. The reason for popularity of these shows are linked with the rise of these acts that are being done. The writer wants to catch the attention of the reader, and also the general audience demanded so. Therefore, they tries to write such things that catches the eyes of the reader. Besides that, in crime related shows and novels the reader and audience can enjoy every genre of stories either it is action, adventure, romance, drama or crime.
In conclusion, the crime related novels and TV shows provide a complete package of entertainment that is quite different from the traditional storylines.
