"If Fox Mulder had lived a millennium earlier, he'd have been an Inquisitor, looking into claims that children had been abducted by fairies, or were perhaps changelings."

I would totally watch that. That is a crime procedural show I could get behind.

Incidentally, I've been sort of watching New Amsterdam, because I'm a sucker for the historical flashback. But I'm still disappointed that mostly, it's a detective show where the detective happens to be immortal (and looking for love! an aspect that annoys me). (I wrote about the show back when the commercials for it first aired, and I think most of my objections still hold. The lead character has fallen in love over the course of his lifetime, so that is slightly different than my expectations, but I think it strengthens the objection, because what makes this person he's waiting for The One, and not the others he's loved? I think it's a silly plotline.)

Anyway, I'm tired of detective shows. Unless they have fairies, in which case, bring it on.

fairy stories, i would make a terrible medievalist, tv
