I just finished this six-part Netflix/BBC collaboration on the aftermath and investigation of the downing of Pan Am flight 103 in Lockerbie Scotland. They admittedly compressed some of the events and characters, but I thought it was a compelling and credible telling of the story. There was a smattering of the usual inter-agency conflict, which is the staple of just about every American cop show, but nobody came off as the villain. While the main story line follows the police investigation, it also touches on the community and families.
I remember attending a disaster management conference several years ago and one of the guest speakers was a government official from the county of Dumfries and Galloway who discussed the civilian impact and response, including the sheer magnitude of size of the scene (2000 sq. km. according to Wiki). At the time, Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary was apparently the smallest police service in Scotland.
