Members amybrickwallace Posted September 22, 2021 Members Share Posted September 22, 2021 Carisi never should have changed from a detective to SVU in the first place. Even when he was a detective, I hated every time it was mentioned he was studying for the bar - HATED IT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted September 23, 2021 Members Share Posted September 23, 2021 High praise. Finally getting around to seeing the reunion episode and sounds like I might start the pilot then. Happy it is getting a second season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Liberty City Posted September 27, 2021 Members Share Posted September 27, 2021 The three-hour Law & Order franchise premiere was amazing. They're setting up some amazing things on both Organized Crime and Special Victims Unit. However... what is up with the re-designed squad room on SVU? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 27, 2021 Members Share Posted September 27, 2021 Yeah...I didn't like it either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Planet Soap Posted September 27, 2021 Members Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) IDK how everyone else feels but I dont like how much more modern SVU is getting into the detective's personal lives. SVU from the start was more personal than OG Law & Order but the stories seem to increasingly involve the detectives rather than them just investigating the case. For example Olivia being kidnapped or taken hostage etc.. I was really hoping for Stabler to come back to SVU but his new show is decent, and the frequent crossovers somewhat fill the void. Getting them romantically involved however may kill whatever tension between them and they should probably wait till the end of the show...then again it's been 22 years so we've been teased enough.

Members Liberty City Posted September 27, 2021 Members Share Posted September 27, 2021 It's almost like Dick Wolf said: "Hey, Organized Crime's squad room is awesome. Let's re-create it for SVU and hope no one notices." I miss the warmth and space of the previous one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 27, 2021 Members Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) The issue I've had with SVU for several years is how CHEAP the sets look. For all the money this show has made NBC/Wolf, it should look better. Edited September 27, 2021 by amybrickwallace 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted September 28, 2021 Members Share Posted September 28, 2021 I don't necessarily think this is a good idea. That ship has sailed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted September 28, 2021 Members Share Posted September 28, 2021 Same. This'll either succeed or fail. I feel like Organized Crime has genuinely succeeded because it is revolved around Christopher Meloni's Elliott Stabler. I don't know if the flagship can do the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted September 28, 2021 Members Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) As I said in the thread about the revival, I don't know how I feel. While the original should have outlasted SVU and should not have been axed for the failure that was Law & Order: Los Angeles, it has been over a decade since this last aired. And many of the existing cast members are now on other shows. And, frankly, the current writing on Dick Wolf shows does not exactly inspire confidence in me that the revival will not end up schitting on the original. And some, let's be honest, are too old now. (I adore Sam Waterston, but the man is over 80 now.) That means new blood, and casting is very hit or miss. Sometimes, things are best left alone. (But I will watch the first episode to gauge an opinion should it truly come to pass.) Edited September 28, 2021 by Wendy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webmaster Errol Posted September 28, 2021 Webmaster Share Posted September 28, 2021 I've been hoping for this to happen almost as long as I've been hoping for AMC/OLTL to come back. This show was canceled abruptly due to mismanagement and the grand ego of Jeff Zucker - the guy who said "DAYS" wouldn't be on the air beyond 2009. That guy. How he ever went on to other higher paying and demanding positions when all he ever did was fail upward is beyond me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 28, 2021 Members Share Posted September 28, 2021 That's the same guy behind the Tonight Show Jay/Conan kafuffle as well. I don't know about this. The beauty of L&O the mothership was that the episodes were about the CASE, not the characters' personal lives and I don't trust Wolf/NBC not to screw that up. Besides, it's been over a decade. I say just leave it alone, but who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
