#LawAndOrderBinge2024 Milena Govich directed the post-Roe abortion episode and she did a really good job. (But if she was going to be there anyway I wish Jessica Rossi was on the ADA's team.)

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 For the avoidance of doubt, when I said "Anthony Anderson should not have to deal with Cosgrove's racist bullshit," I did not mean "Mehcad Brooks should have to deal with Cosgrove's racist bullshit instead."

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 It's not just that I have a lot of feelings, it's that I have a lot of CORRECT feelings, and also passed 8th grade civics, which I can only assume most people working on this show haven't or else they'd understand the purpose of defense counsel is not just to piss everyone off.

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 I do think that after 1,350+ episodes in under a year I should be granted a special audience with Dick Wolf to give my opinions.

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 I forgot that the three-part Gimme Shelter tries to make Cosgrove central and sympathetic. It didn't work when I first watched it in my SVU/OC watch but it works even less now that I know who Cosgrove is.

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 Project Runway completely ruined my ability to hear the name "Andre" like a normal person. #whathappenedtoandre

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 The first episode of season 22 is the one where Amanda gets shot and I have feelings about it.

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 Realized for the price of ordering delivery I could buy the next season so that's where I am right now, as a person.

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 This franchise really believes that white people are the only ones who are unbiased about race

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 Literally no one associated with this franchise understands what "defund the police" means.

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 Every time there's a case in Washington Heights they're like "why would a NORMAL PERSON with a JOB be in this area? SOUNDS CRIMINAL."

Yeah how dare you have human emotions in public. Appalling.

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 Why is Jeffrey Donovan constantly threatening people. Surely he has better things to do.

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 they are accusing so many things of being "woke" without any idea what they mean

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 It feels like around episode 21.06 they start course-correcting by making characters less blatantly awful bigots, which raises the question of why they thought this was a good plan to begin with.

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 They're like "Cosgrove is a blatant racist but he also doesn't understand why anyone cares about someone being gay."

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 I'm glad I'm watching these seasons because I think it's necessary context for the whole, and the episodes after 21.01 have been marginally less terrible, but it's like watching a parody of the show.

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 They found this suspect 11 minutes in to the episode so he's probably not the murderer but I do think he should be prosecuted for owning a Tesla.

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 I figured we wouldn't get any of Jack's feelings on Claire but I really believed we'd get *something* about Jack and Jamie. My expectations are basically nothing and they still let me down.

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 How do I exchange this for the series about Jamie Ross having ethics.

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 It took me over 2 hours to watch a 45-minute episode. This bodes well I think.

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 I knew it had to be a guilty verdict to re-establish the concept of the show but holy shit I didn't expect it to be this blatantly bad. How do you revive L&O with none of what made it compelling. And why would anyone make that choice.

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 "If we have a woman of color give the closing it will make up for having white men yelling at a rape victim for an entire episode."

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 Jamie Ross taking the fifth is AMAZING but them showing Jack reacting to it without showing the two of them discussing it at all is a violation of my rights.
comment in response to
post
#LawAndOrderBinge2024 Is this episode supposed to be about how Jamie Ross is a better human being than every single character on the reboot except maybe Anthony Anderson?

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 L&O The New Class is extremely effective propaganda but only if it's trying to be anti-law enforcement. If it's trying to support the establishment it's stepping on every rake in the five boroughs. I accept that we have to assume it's pro-law enforcement given history, but how?

#LawAndOrderBinge2024 The justice system functions when both prosecution and defense are held to a high standard and while that has ALWAYS been a flaw in this franchise it's never been more blatant than it is here.
comment in response to
post
#LawAndOrderBinge2024 "When the justice system failed her, the defendant took matters into her own hands. Got justice her way. The Old Testament way." (A) this is antisemitic but also (B) I resent the way they've decided to indirectly implicate "Jamie Ross doing her job" as a cause of this murder.

#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.

#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 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 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 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 It is ridiculous how much knowing that Jack McCoy personally recruited Mr. Claire Danes makes me see him in a better light.

#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 Exactly what audience does L&O think they're appealing to with "openly racist and misogynistic cop (but it's okay because he has a woman lieutenant and a Black partner, both of whom keep looking at him like 'wtf') who doesn't trust Jamie Ross"?
