Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Low Winter Sun is dark Cop Show/crime thriller from AMC, set in the ruins of modern Detroit on both sides of the law and the spaces in between. A story of murder, deception, revenge and corruption, the show begins on a stark cold open with the murder of Dirty Cop Brendan McCann by his partner Joe Geddes and fellow detective Frank Agnew, ostensibly as revenge for the killing of Agnew's girlfriend. When internal affairs show up the next day to investigate McCann, however, it soon becomes clear that Geddes had his own reasons for wanting his partner dead.Starring Mark Strong as Agnew and Lennie James as Geddes, the show is a remake of a British miniseries from 2006 that also starred Strong in the lead role.AMC cancelled the show after a single 10-episode season due to fairly abysmal ratings and lukewarm at best critical reaction. Despite this, very little was Left Hanging and the show rolls pretty well as a self-contained one-off.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

| Low Winter Sun / int_35474f36 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Law Enforcement: Pretty much all over the scale. Boyd and Kahlil appear to be on the positive end; Agnew is also portrayed as by-the-book until the events of the show. McCann, Geddes, and Dawson appear on the negative end. | |

Killer Cop | |
| Low Winter Sun / int_3b4bd0b4 | comment |
Killer Cop: When Agnew looks through old case files, it's implied that McCann had killed many and had made them appear as suicides in the subsequent investigation, with collaboration from Geddes and possibly Dawson. | |

Sanity Slippage | |
| Low Winter Sun / int_62434fe2 | comment |
Sanity Slippage: Frank has a spectacularly bad day in "Ann Arbor" that sees him gradually losing his already shaky grip on things. Already missing a night's sleep after informing the families of McCann's victims of the cover up, he gets beaten up after aggravating a group of workmen, seems to have a mild heart attack after a failed attempt to flee the country, car-jacks a woman trying to help him out, and finally comes close to suicide after an emotional confrontation with his ex-wife. | |

Armor-Piercing Question: In the dying seconds of the last episode, Frank is completely taken aback when asked to confirm Katia's name while identifying her body. It throws in to question how well he actually knew a woman he supposedly loved when he couldn't even be sure Katia was her real name. | |
