I know the board has fans, so I wanted to start a thread now that season 21 is out.
What does everyone think of the revival? The new cast?
Two episodes out and since I started the thread, let me be the first to say, the first episode was shitty, shitty, shitty. Horrible music cues, horrible acting, horrible cast with zero chemistry, horrible sets, horrible story. It's like Dick Wolf, who wrote the episode, has never seen Law & Order.
So, the first episode is "about" Bill Cosby. His wife stands by him, right up to the second she doesn't. Jamie Ross is back!!! Except, now she's an ADA again somehow and in the most unforgivable sin of all, shares zero screen time with McCoy and they never mention each other. At all. It's like the two characters never met.
The second episode was much, much better and actually felt like a L&O episode, but rather be shitty, shitty, shitty, was just stinky, farty, smelly!!! The accused, for no reason at all, just says an easily disprovable lie on the witness stand and off to jail she goes. Since it revolved around bogus cancer screenings, wouldn't that be a great time to mention what became of Lt. Van Buren? You'd think so, but Dick Wolf, who I am pretty sure has never seen L&O didn't.
The 2nd episode is better than the first, way, way better, at least twice as good, so maybe they're growing exponentially, but so far, if this is what they've shat out, they should have left the series dead and in reruns.

I've never been a fan of the series, but I listened to a review of it on NPR, and they played some clip. It had the worst dialogue I've ever heard of probably any show ever.

I liked the first episode. Have not seen the second.
Then again I'm just happy to have the OG back over that PoS show SVU.

I haven't watched any of the law & order's in about 7 years or so.
I tried this one out....turned it off within the first 5 minutes.

It's a decent show, but Cosgrove sticks out like a sore thumb. He tries too hard to be Mike Logan but without Logan's charm or talent. I'm kinda convinced that by end of season Cosgrove snaps and kills someone.
