• The original L&O was...overall legendary. My rating is for the first 20 seasons. Sure, it had its missteps during its 20 season run. But I never gave up on it. I just can't get on board with S21.

    I don't like the casting. I never thought I'd hate a casting decision more than I hated that beauty queen detective that one year she was on. I was wrong. Donovan makes me want to stab ice picks in my ears and eyes.

    The new season lacks everything the original 20 seasons had. The characters don't connect, the stories don't flow, I don't care about any of these new people at all. And it's so bad, I don't even care about the couple of old characters that showed up.

    I'll just stick to reruns.
