So...a licensed professional counselor who by her account is a therapist whose patients are Black males with serious mental disorders she’s been treating for years, breathlessly stitches a TikTok talking about the Psychology Today article on the “rise of lonely single men”, calling out the podcasts catering to the…

I guess he accomplished the latter since we’re still bringing it up, but it was easily the biggest WTF??? moment in that show’s run (which is saying something).

Eh, she’s fine. Not terrible, but not great. No Van Buren, though.

“Maroun’s also one of the weakest ADAs I’ve seen on the show.”

Schiff at least put up a fight and let him have it when he found out.

It seems like the MO over the run of the show is that if an ADA wants to risk torpedoing themselves and their careers to win a case, the DA is going to let them do it.

Yeah the whole point of a bad cop on this show is someone you can still relate to, like oh I don’t know, Chris Meloni.

There WERE times he stood up to Jack, but yea, they were rare. It was Branch that clapped back at Jack more often.

Plus, his legendary character was written as an absolute pushover in this reboot, with Dancy’s ADA walking all over him.

I was surprised by how bad Donovan was in this season. I get that his character was supposed to be the ‘bad’ cop to Anderson’s ‘good’ cop, but Donovan was so over the top most of the time. He just leaned into it too far.

I wasn’t expecting much, but how do you not have a single scene with Jack and Jamie interacting? That was just astonishing.

No one condoned violence and did you even read the article? Jaleel White threatened to physically attack a woman over an disagreement because he couldn’t get his way. Jo Marie Peyton has a right to defend herself if someone threatens to fight her. Where is all this energy in condemning Jaleel White for his…

So you sexually harassed your coworkers?  Ya, good you worked when people looked the other way.  Creepy though that you admit that. 

I think you may be misunderstanding a bit how this stuff works. What we have here is a snippet of legally vetted description of the incident. What actually happened, in context, likely made someone feel uncomfortable (or objectified or threatened) enough that the people in the know saw it as a fireable offense.

No…

He’s never been the same since his mom died. 

Nah, he was always cray-cray.

I agree! Review’s a bit harsh. Give it a few episodes to tone down Cosgrove and the let the detectives gel. I thought the Order side was pretty solid from the jump, actually.

But yes you’re right. I wonder how many “Italian” kids don’t know they’re just light skin mixed kids.

Or his mother had an affair (with or without his father’s blessing).

Not necessarily. If one of his grandparents was passing, it’s not unreasonable for a down-the-line baby to have a substantially darker complexion than both parents and all siblings. Just because the correct genes didn’t express for a while doesn’t mean they upped stakes and wandered off into the fields of whiteness…
