I stopped watching all of the Law and Order shows a decade ago. Each passing week displayed some new progressive agenda. The White guy in the suit was always guilty; the Black kid was always being setup.
The coup de grace was a show that described a father who performed an “honor killing” on his wayward daughter. Muslims? Of course not! Christian Fundamentalists. Despite the fact that the former group performs approximately 99.99% of the honor killings in the world, Dick Wolf found it necessary to clog the airwaves by focusing on the remaining 0.01%. I switched it off and never looked back.
It was all political propaganda with implausible storylines. Worthless, all.
Great post. You are absolutely correct. Many years ago I watched an episode where a suspect was arrested for a murder. The suspect's father came in to give a statement. He was wearing a small cross around his neck. I instantly said to myself, he'll be the actual murderer.
And so he was.
I'm so done with that show, and all its spin-offs. I'll stick to Pawn Stars, Duck Dynasty, and the old reruns on the METV channel.
It wasn’t a decade ago, but I stopped watching it because of all you said, plus I saw an unfortunate tendency to go after the one the police DECIDED was guilty, without them looking for the real perp. Especially when Olivia just got too manly. And her partner was just made into a weirdo.
