The responder, Happy valley, Line of duty  ( episode 1 season 1)

Typical codes and conventions of a TV crime drama:
- an inciting crime
- a speech in praise of the villain
- discovering and understanding the antagonists aims
- progressively complicated following of the clues
- exposure of the criminal
- often arguments between the police officers or investigators when things become difficult or complicated.
- dark settings
- usually set in suburban areas like cities or large towns 
- quite often involves weapons like guns and knives
- exposure of the criminal
- protagonist is usually the main police officer
- antagonist is usually the criminal 
- handful of suspects with their own motives which makes us wonder who the criminal is
- narrative ark
- also have minor narratives and storylines
- typical characters like villain, hero, sidekick , dispatcher etc
- diegetic sound

impact of these conventions:
These codes and conventions give the audience a clear view on what is happening, for example, the police cars driving around with diegetic sounds suggests that there is a crime that the police officers need to sort out immediately. Also, the suspense with every crime makes the audience wonder who the criminal is.
