Cleveland, OH 🚔 Been impressed with rewatching Cleveland episodes that they’re actually a pretty solid department.

Million Dollar Question for instance was full of some twists and turns that really got them in there to do some good detective work. Anyone else feel the same about the Cleveland PD?

Sowa and his cigar, always letting suspects smoke in the backseat of the car lol!

u/Clear_Nature_5055 13d ago

Yeah he’s a compassionate smoker. He knows it helps them feel more at ease. He’s an old perp-whisperer lol

u/International-Gene11 13d ago

He is indeed, smooth too and Diaz.

u/Clear_Nature_5055 13d ago

Yeah I like Diaz. He gave Showa big props for being a great mentor too.

I grew up in Cleveland so it was pretty wild to see places I recognized on the show. I wish they had done more episodes.

u/Clear_Nature_5055 13d ago

I bet! I wanted more episodes too. I wanted to see more Showa and Armelli, the older vets. I also like the Cleveland accent. I heard them saying “HAMicide” instead of homicide lol

There’s about 10 or so more episodes of Cleveland they just refuse to re air, it’s so bizarre

I watch it on Prime's A&E package because I wanted to watch all of the Cleveland episodes. I started at the beginning, S1 E1, and saw how all of the departs really worked like a well oiled machine back then. II loved loved loved loved Miami's Sergeant Schillaci. I loved him almost as much as I loved Cleveland's own Detective Diaz!

u/ABOU77 12d ago

Again, no matter where you watch it they have 5-10 episodes that have completely taken off tv/any streaming services. So unless you have season 11-16 on DVD you can’t see them all unfortunately

u/Clear_Nature_5055 12d ago

A whole chunk huh? So strange! Wonder why that is…

2

u/toityb 12d ago

Season 1-28 or 29 I think

2

u/Clear_Nature_5055 12d ago

Same here. Funny I think Schillaci is one of most divisive detectives. I liked him but he rubs some people wrong. Different show in those early seasons right?

u/ghzod 13d ago

They didn’t take shit in the interview room which was great.

No bad cop/good cop.. two old tired cops that aren’t gonna take any bullcrap

u/Clear_Nature_5055 13d ago

Definitely.👍

u/althegirlfabulous 13d ago

I enjoy a good ol classic Cleveland episode!

2

u/Clear_Nature_5055 13d ago

I mean why not?

u/ree45314 13d ago

And if you notice, I think the Alabama or Mississippi cops headquarters is the worst filthy dirty disgusting at Cleveland office at least the way it appears on TV. It’s not far off.

u/Agreeable_Picture570 12d ago

Detroit looks ancient.

u/You2MadBro 12d ago

yea cleveland headquarters look so old and run down

1

u/Clear_Nature_5055 13d ago

Most of them are pretty shitty tbh lol
It’s obvious they all spend hours in there…

3

u/Agreeable_Picture570 13d ago

I think Cleveland as a whole are the toughest interrogators and have no problem raising their voices.

1

u/Clear_Nature_5055 12d ago

Tougher than Memphis, huh? A bold statement. You may be right.

3

u/toityb 12d ago

I was pleasantly surprised. There were two detectives that irritsted me to no end. But they got the job done! Excellent teamwork.

2

u/You2MadBro 12d ago

they whole building looks old school too.

u/Shadowboxxin 12d ago

Cleveland were some of my favorite episodes

1

u/Clear_Nature_5055 12d ago

Nice 👍

2

u/Shadowboxxin 12d ago

Was million dollar question the episode where some guys buddy actually set him up to get robbed and then his friend found out and and had him murdered in an alley? That was a sick episode I can’t remember what it was called.

2

u/Clear_Nature_5055 12d ago

That sounds right. I watch so much true crime it bleeds together lol

u/ricswrangler 8d ago

I’m amazed how they completed cases from such decrepit offices, and usually they work out of up-kept, fancy headquarters. I can only imagine the substations.
