#LawAndOrderBinge2024 This show made the calculated, intentional decision to come back after ten years with a main cop who shows more blatant bias than their cops from the 90s. And the lead suspect went from "Jamie Ross" to "rape victim."

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 I last saw an episode with Jack McCoy like two days ago but I still missed seeing him having big ethical debates, even when I disagree with him. Sam Waterston really imbues this character with having learned from Schiff, Lewin, and even Branch.
#LawAndOrderBinge2024 The parallel between Kate Dixon telling the cops the DAs are their partner and Jack McCoy telling the lawyers the cops are their partner is blatant, and I get what they're trying to do narratively, but it says Cosgrove's shittiness and Mr. Claire Danes's shittiness are equal.
#LawAndOrderBinge2024 Being right about the optics of lying to a rape victim who made national news and ended up killing her rapist after he got out on a technicality is not equivalent to saying that caring about white cops can't do anything with Black suspects without a threat of getting fired!
#LawAndOrderBinge2024 "Like it or not, Nolan, the big, bad police department is our partner, and in case you haven't been paying attention, they're under attack. Every decision, every arrest, is scrutinized. There are people trying to defund them for god's sake." Jack McCoy what did they do to you.
#LawAndOrderBinge2024 Sam Waterston is talented enough to sell almost anything he says and even so this episode is reading like a parody of L&O that fully buys in to propaganda the show at least tried to interrogate in its first run.
