Chicago P.D. (TV Series) Mercy (2020) User Reviews

A good episode with irritations.

[akicork · 8/10 · 2 June 2022]

The actual action and character interaction here was pretty much up to standard. I mark it down a point because of two ongoing irritations. First, I am astonished that a production company with as much experience as Wolf Films (particularly given their direct competition with Belisarius Productions output such as JAG and NCIS) would not know that the military abbreviation "Mk" is pronounced "Mark" as in "Mk24 torpedo": "Mark twenty-four torpedo" (Tigerfish), "Mark eighteen": not "Em Kay eighteen" as another reviewer has pointed out - yet it keeps happening. The second regular irritation I experience is the disclosure that someone is driving a "Neeson" car (I'm not sure that Liam Neeson would be flattered) or even worse, a "Kneesawn". What is it about the word "Nissan" (which I suspect translates as "dawn" : "nis" + "san" : "day" + "birth") that prevents Americans (at least on TV) pronouncing it correctly?

Poor dialogue even by CPD standards

Poor dialogue even by CPD standards, from that ridiculous surgeon, from Hailey, and between the cop gang in general. Example: What type of cops insist on adding the phrase "assault rifle" every time possible?
