i would like to see a television show
that would be a kind of police procedural, only the “detective” would be an IRS investigator going after the ever-more-elaborate tax dodges of very high-net-worth cheats.

@interfluidity Surely the industry that made medical examiner a vast and storied genre can make this work! Surely.

I think the tax-dodges bit is inherently more snoozy than dead bodies. But I think that's ok, because they can focus on the many ways in which rich people are wild. Money helps pathology metastasize, as with Harlan Crow's Nazi memorabilia collection.

Especially in today's image-conscious age, I think there's so much material in looking behind the facade. E.g., the Duggars, the Chrisleys, Jen Shah. Or people like Ted Haggard and Jerry Falwell Jr.

The show Justified worked this angle sometimes and it was great.
