I loved Law and Order, the TV police drama. It was great. The cynical world-weary NYC police detectives Briscoe and Logan – my favourite pairing – cleaning up the streets of the Big Apple one mook at a time. Sweating them downtown in the precinct before sending them to hardnosed District Attorney Jack McCoy for trial where they would be sent upstate for twenty to life.
The show was cancelled in 2010 and following an 11-year hiatus was rebooted with a bit of a woke identity crisis.
After watching a few of the new episodes they really shouldn’t have fucking bothered. In the eleven years a lot has changed, much of it for the worst. #MeToo bollocks, the rise of BLM and George fucking Floyd, wokedom, cancel culture, climate alarmism, trannie takeover and Donald Trump being elected and booted out from POTUS….and possibly elected again.
The world is a different place and the new series seems intent on making up for lost time with cramming as much social justice messaging into episodes as possible. Already there have been sermons on toxic masculinity, critical race theory, the ‘far-right’ and a scolding for a Christian couple who objected to their sons bumming activities.
Gone was the easy camaraderie and non-pc humour, engaging plotlines and likeable characters and replaced with miserable po-faced finger wagging cunts more likely to give a lecture on political wrongthink than read the suspect their rights. A recent plotline from the spin-off series Law and Order: SVU recently include a white woman refusing to testify against a black man who had raped her because of her white privilege and doubts over whether he would get a fair trial. The cancer it seems runs deep throughout the whole franchise.
At least 5USA still show episodes from the 90’s most weekday afternoons, free from another cultural vehicle being hijacked to push ‘The Message’ where I can indulge in nostalgic racism, homophobia, misogyny and white privilege.

Even as we speak our msm are jumping up and down as Lee Anderson has joined Reform and so is not only far right but far far far extreme right.
Cunts.

I agree.
The new Law & Order is unwatchable shite.
I gave up on Special Victims Unit when the very attractive Benson turned into a man.
She is now fucking horrible.
And the ridiculous story line with ‘her’ son Noah.
Criminal Intent was OK at first until the big guy left and the ludicrous replacement was Geoff Goldblum.
It’s all shit now.
9
I forgot…….
The big guy was called Goran (I think).
The series started getting stupid when his nemesis was some posh English tart.
Rubbish.
5
Actually TAC, she was an Aussie.
“Bobby” believed her father molested her. (Must not have been any sheep around. Or maybe she grew up in the city?)
But I agree with you. That was a stupid plot line.
5
I think you meant Goren (Vincent D’Onofrio) in Criminal Intent.

Yesterday a reference to Gunnery Sgt Hartman.
Today, it’s Pvt Lawrence aka Pvt Pyle.
“Oh that’s right, Private Pyle, don’t make any fucking effort to get to the top of the fucking obstacle. If God would have wanted you up there he would have miracled your ass up there by now, wouldn’t he?”

This show sounds like really good fun.
Morning all.

The last ten years has seen the almost complete collapse of worthwhile writing and directing across entertainment.
Right,I think I’ll go and watch Barbie again now.

They definitely don’t make ’em like they used to Unk.

Only if it was mincing black enamel bastards reaming each other’s rings out.
Guaranteed a fucking BAFTA nomination these days.

I’ve never watched the show because it doesn’t sound like my kind of thing. There only reason I might be tempted to watch it is because it stars Jewel Staite of Firefly and Stargate: Atlantis fame.

Sadly though Jewel is a bit of an insufferable, lefty twat with a really dodgy nose job so I’ll probably give it a miss.

A classy chassis Two.
Loved ‘Firefly’ and ‘Serenity’
1
My first love is Star Trek but Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis also have a place in my heart. I met her at London Film and Comic Con 2012 and had my photo taken with her.
That was before celebrities were quite so active on social media, shatting their opinions all over the internet. If I had the chance to meet her now, I probably wouldn’t.

Hope they never think of making a series about ‘white privilege’ it would be a monumental task and have more episodes than Corrie….📺

If you want to see a white hating woke fuelled pile of shite, check out the total cunt fest that is Station 19.
Even Mrs Gripper, who will sit through any fucking garbage, was so sickened by it that she switched off with a vow never to watch again.
3
I checked out the IMDb page, didn’t see any white men in the cast, laughed my cock off and left.
2
This shite is everywhere.
I was listening to a history podcast about Freemasonry. The co-host ‘expert’ was bleating on about how wimminz were not allowed to be mason in century X or Y.
Then, another ‘expert’ starts up about sooties in Europe weren’t allowed in either in times long past.
The great cathedrals of Europe were all built by M’Bongo and Ellen Degenerate. Whitey sat back and learned from them.
Next week; Mudhuts by Bob the Builder.

Bummer. I wasn`t allowed to join the KKK. Their loss.

Yeah, the Klan was way ahead of the curve on the whole, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion thing.

Why the still considerable and until recently self confident majority is now surrendering on all fronts to a bunch of odd and creepy agenda laden and opinionated wankers is beyond me. It’ll be the undoing of Western democracy if we don’t rein it in pdq. The likes of Putin and Xi Jinping, amongst others, must be laughing their socks off as they wait to pick up the choicest pieces.

Because it has been baked into the law, that’s why.

As I have to keep reminding the wife, it is just a programme on TV. It is not real life.
Personally, I like to form my opinions on all things important from this site and not some PC / woke TV series.

Aren’t you misled by the far right rhetoric?

Talk about good value!

Bloody rip off.
Haiti is a fine place, don’t get it mixed up with Tahiti which is a dump.

That’s the problem today with these network executives.. tv and film is a bit of escapism..
That’s why it’s called the entertainment business..
So fuck off with your politically correct shows..
The average person doesn’t give a fuck about gender,race and grandstanding..
So stop meddling..
5
Ps never watched it..
It’s was always the wire or homicide on the streets..
3
Homicide, Life on the Streets was excellent, except for the big, fat, black boss who for some odd reason was also expected to be an Italian.
Fuck knows why.
There was also a very short series called ‘Prime Suspect USA’.
The leas role was played by a very fuckable Maria Bello. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1582456/
Almost as fuckable as the younger Helen Mirren in the English version.

I’ll stick with the Sweeney. “Watch it Gov, he’s got a shooter”.

Itv4 will soon be the only channel worth watching!
We should be looking for the advisories warning us that the next programme contains outdated attitudes and language. The sign of a decent show.
4
I understand the season end show will be a 2 part cliff hanger.
The NYPD will be assigned to protect the ex-patriot Baron of Gray Manor* and his half Cherokee Indian wife from a mob of crazed paparazzi.
After a Bullitt** like chase through the mean streets of Manhattan, the show will fade to black just as the saintly couple try to elude their dogged pursuers and enter the Holland Tunnel.
You’ll have to turn in next season to see what happens.
As Septic cultural references might be a bit obscure to some of you:
*This was an Old Three Stooges parody line as it rhymes with Barren of Gray Matter.
**One of the great classic car chase scenes of all time.

I hope they are hot on misgendering.

Thanks for the warning LL. I haven’t watched any of these new episodes and now I know not to bother. Law And Order was a great series, for me the ultimate episode was ‘Bodies’ – the first from series 14. Ritchie Coster played Mark Bruner, the best portrayal of a serial killer I’ve seen on screen.
2
What you watching this old shite for LL?
My missus likes it, I fuckin don’t.
I don’t like the black characters
I don’t like the white characters
Stick Steptoe on👍

Don’t worry Miserable, that call for a gritty Stockport set fly on the wall police drama ‘Dog ‘t Bounty Hunter’ will come some day.
1
I heard CSI is coming back as well. Place your bets please, will it be full of The Message or not?
2
Liv Benson is hot. Even hotter now she is a Lieutenant. She pouts when she says, as she often does, ‘This is on me.’ I like the episode where one of her colleagues is shot and she attends the funeral in her dress uniform. Brilliant 10/10.

Oh, and Dick Wolf is a cunt.

Law & Order Dragnet started out strong, with Ed O’Neil & Ethan Embry as Friday and Smith.
Season 2 added a ‘team’. You can guess the rest….
1
^ … hereunder ; as per Wikipedia… (bear in mind this show screened 21 years ago..)
***
“In the second season, Friday was promoted to lieutenant with less screen time and Frank Smith was written out, in favor of a younger and ethnically diverse cast played by Eva Longoria, Desmond Harrington, Evan Dexter Parke, and Christina Chang. Roselyn Sanchez was added to the regular cast in a few episodes. With the Dragnet formula no longer in place, the program had the feel of a typical procedural drama. It was cancelled five episodes into its second season.”

Live and don’t learn. eh? ..
