What is the narrative?
The narrative is the same throughout almost every drama. It follows the theory of Todorov, that all media must start at an equilibreum, then fall into a disequilibreum, then somehow be restored back into an equilibreum. It generally starts with an inside story, about the characters in the drama that appear every week, then as this falls into the disequilibreum, somebody dies and they are required to solve the dilemma. They keep the audience interested in this repetetive storyline by throwing in curveballs and questionable story lines which makes the viewer constantly on their toes to try and guess who commited the murder. As the case unfolds, so does the disequilibreum between the inside characters.
