To go a bit on a tangent: I love TV shows where it really is shot where it is set, and the location is a big part of the show. Examples: Magnum P.I. (Hawaii); Miami Vice (Miami); The Equalizer (NYC). Where re(make)(boot)s exist, I'm talking about the originals. On the other hand, it can be a little annoying when, e.g. in The Good Wife, NYC is standing in for Chicago. On a third hand, I love how Murder, She Wrote represents many different places with the same backlot sets, throwing in bits of stock or second unit establishing shots.

>To go a bit on a tangent: I love TV shows where it really is shot where it is set, and the location is a big part of the show. The Inspector Morse series[0] based on Colin Dexter's[1] novels is shot in and around Oxford, UK and is pretty darn good. The follow-ons (Lewis[2] and Endeavour[3]) are also pretty good too. The Inspector Lynley Mysteries[4] is also pretty good and is shot mostly on location, although the protagonist is something of a whiny little bitch. The same can be said for DCI Banks[5]. That said, Vera[6] and Y Gwyll[7] (Hinterland) are both good too, although the police force in Vera is a fictional fictional organization and is shot in various places in the north of England.
