Better to have stayed away...
3 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Badly written, woodenly performed, and even for this liberal, gay, viewer, WAY too "woke." (I counted at least two potential transgender characters.) And why, if Stabler was away doing good work, being his own boss, is he back in New York as a "member of the team" overseen by--sigh!--an aggressive, unsympathetic woman of color? It doesn't appear this will become a series with stand-alone episodes, rather a long journey to fond out Who Killed Kathy? (Given the issues in the Stabler marriage it would made more sense to return him as divorced from Kathy and estranged from his kids--especially the now totally unrecognizable Dickie Stabler--what the heck happened there?!!) It is a mystery to me how "SVU" has continued--I find it unbearable and totally unrealistic now. I don't see "Organized Crime" lasting more than a short season.

P. S. Does Dick Woolf watch his other cop show? In Stabler's return everybody was quick to trash him for his old aggressive ways. Yet "Chicago PD" is nothing but violent cops--killer cops, in fact. Maybe Elliott's comeback should taken place in the Windy City, where he could beat and murder at his pleasure.
