I really liked the first season of L&O/CI. D'Onofrio was really a force of nature that season. Great stuff. But lately the writing has been really lame and D'Onofrio seems to be phoning it in. Every episode ends with the obligatory scene where everyone stands around slack-jawed while D'Onofrio explains how brilliant he is. Really bad television.
Nix four of those "really"'s, and that post was still lame. Sorry.
