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.
