Still watching SVU?
I like the Law & Order series because I know exactly what I am going to get each time and I don't have to watch them in order (even though I do).
Adding Jeremy Sisto as ex-spy Detective Cyrus Lupo to L&O is a good move, even though I loved Milena Govich as Detective Nina Cassady last year.
L&O CI is my favorite simply because of Vincent D'Onofrio as Bobby Goren, the best variation on Sherlock Holmes since Nero Wolfe.
But SVU is in the tank this year. The writing - dialog and plotting - has gotten really bad really fast and I've not noticed the same on the other two shows.
The segments in which we're told the statistics relating to the perversion of the night are as smooth as one of those horrid The More You Know ads.
Good cop show lines do not start out "According to the Kaiser Family Foundation" or "Researchers at Rand."
Am I the only one spotting this?
