Judy Justice: Puppy Injury (2022)
Another slow JJ case
The meat of the case is interesting, especially with the puppy (cuz who doesn't love the animal cases?!?), but really episodes like this just keep reinforcing how much I miss the old JJ format. This case could be complete in 6-7 minutes or less, and if fans remember, this is really how Judge Judy developed her Claim to Fame. Quick, straightforward, no-nonsense judgements, where Judge Judy handled idiot litigants with the utmost efficiency.
It's painful to watch these new "Judy Justice" episodes a lot of times, how the producers draggggggg on to fill a half hour (or whatever). And now, with "Freevee" as the content provider IT'S EVEN WORSE!!! Honestly before Feeevee, I never imagined there was even a way/style/ABILITY for these episodes to grow longer with even more fluffy pointless filler.
There could have been so much more to this one for instance more pics of the apartment, the dog with the cast and the barstool and maybe even a re-enactment of what happened... do more like what good content there was with the witness...
Boo JJ producers!!! Please get it together and find a way for our favorite Judge to punch out her career with some higher quality programs! PLEASE!!!!
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Criminal (2004)
Love This Episode- Plot Twist is Classic!
Great episode from Season 5 of SVU- this is one I can def watch over and over. James McDaniel from NYPD Blue is great, and this is another where guest stars make Law & Order such a strong and addicting drama to watch!
Creative tactics we haven't seen before allow the killer to get away for a while. But Cragen is on to them, after admitting and realizing a prejudicial mistake he has made against James McDaniel. I love seeing Cragen in action: his acting is a joy we don't get in later seasons of SVU.
Great episode!
Chicago P.D.: The Other Side (2021)
FINALLY Voight Serving Up the Bad Guy
I've been waiting an entire two seasons for this, and the five minutes of Hank Voight being the Real Hank Voight is SO TOTALLY WORTH IT. How he side-steps his own team to hunt down Roy, the head of the most heinous mini-empire of crime and perversion, how he hunts down the lead with smart police work, and best of all, how it all comes together in the grungy, isolated warehouse/shop, is the epitome of Chicago PD.
The characters all really come out in this episode too. You could take the details of their behavior, and how they interact with one another, and write up those character profiles they used to have on the "Details" sections of Amazon Prime Video characters tab. Ruz is emotional and passionate towards Burgess, Burgess is a super badass who is put through her own independent level of hell and torture by the bad guys, Atwater is like Ruz says he is, a walking 'woke' proverb who can't put his soap box away even when his teammate is in fatal danger, and unfortunately, Hailey shows up again way too much and is SUPER annoying.
I'm still not sure what the writers are trying to do with Hailey. Maybe the actress is blessed w/ nepotism or something, and that's why she's in the show. Right at the end, she pulls a move just like the Superintendent lady did in the previous episode, pleading with Voight to go by the book and "do the right thing", to bring Roy into the station instead of burying him, which totally and literally backfires in her face.
Classic Chicago PD branding, the episode and season ends with fire, a grave, and the silhouette of Hank Voight by a still, nighttime Lake Michigan. Love it!!!
Chicago P.D.: The Right Thing (2021)
Amazing Episode!
Dick Wild scores 10/10 with this gripping episode! The plot development, believability, and cinematography/quality are all out of the park, possibly the best episode of Chicago PD I've seen yet!
As a Chicago resident, I love the shootings on scene at the real locations. The sleeting rain/snow mix 3/4 of the way through the episode is totally Chi- it's like I can feel the wind with the eerie drop in my stomach as the team walks towards the windy lake...
Satisfying, but leaving you on edge, this episode is great in so many ways! The superintendent got a hard life lesson at the sacrifice of her son (thank you writers for being REAL), and the audience is left at the edge of their seat to see how Intelligence will handle the bad guys in the continuing episode ...
Chicago P.D.: Signs of Violence (2021)
Too much focus on Upton
This season has more than one episode with a focus on Upton. Her acting is not bad, but her character is so MEH, and this episode with a Meh character is terribly predictable. I think the writers got lazy with this episode.
