In many countries today, crime novels and TV crime dramas are becoming more and more popular. Why do you think these books and TV shows are popular? What is your opinion of crime fiction and TV crime dramas?

Nowadays,
crime
novels and
TV
crime
dramas
are becoming more popular around the world. The reason why these books and
TV
shows are popular is understandable. In my opinion,
crime
novels and
TV
crime
dramas
have both disadvantages and advantages. The
TV
crime
dramas
are more and more popular because
people
love to watch these types of movies and it gives the producers huge profits.
Besides
, governments want
people
to know about crimes to prevent.
For example
, the "Sherlock Holmes" novel was famous all over the world, producers made it into a movie and almost everyone knows about Sherlock Holmes. The film has brought huge revenue for the author and the producers. I think these types of movies have both advantages and disadvantages. In terms of advantages, it will spread
crime
content to
people
to understand the current social situation.
For example
, online newspapers often publish information about crimes to warn
people
to avoid bad crimes in their life. In terms of disadvantages, it will bring bad effects to
people
's minds and actions when they watch too much.
For example
, the "Prison Break" film, a famous
crime
film made some
people
in the world copy the way to escape from prisons and the children can become violent without support or education from schools or their parents if they watch it too much. In conclusion, audiences enjoy watching
crime
movies, so
that is
why they are becoming more and more popular. Before viewing a drama or reading a book, I think that everyone should research the best types of
dramas
or novels.
