Law & Order (1990– )
9/10
One of TV's greatest show ruined...
18 May 2023
This has been a legendary show, one of television's greatest and one of my top favorites ever, portraying a raw and rugged NYC with all the shortcomings of a underfunded police department and tricky legal system, great performances, moral dilemmas, unpredictable and smart scripts and visceral characters and actors made from their roles in it. It is a real shame to see its current overstylized condition, with the production investing in beautified characters and elementary dialogues, highly predictable narrative, flat and suspense-free content and bad acting instead of keeping the original flowy feel...it just feels so fake and stuck up and if Waterston wasn't in it, it would be unwatchable...i guess it reflects the state of the city as a whole and its gentrified demise, but they could at least make it more believable...real shame.
