Settings

Settings play a massive part in Crime Dramas as different settings suggest different things to the audience about what the show may be about and they might feel towards the programme. In the various different Crime Dramas that I have seen I have noticed that each different one applies it's narrative to its setting. They appear very stereotypical as shows like Luther are set in more rough area's of London and include more council estates and dark alleyways which makes the audience think that it will be more gruesome and scary. Shows like Sherlock which is set in a much nicer and wealthier part of London comfort the audience more as they feel its too much of a nice to area to be horrible and gruesome.
Luther:
Luther is a London Crime Drama and many of it's episodes occur in rough parts like Council Estates and in tall, worn down buildings.
