I was on bed rest and watched 12 seasons straight…
And I have thoughts. I’ve been a forever fan of the Law & Order franchise, and over the last 5 years or so, I've just been watching out of habit, not because it’s good, especially SVU. I’m not a person who can pick up a new show and start watching. I will watch the same series over and over again almost out of comfort, but I’m so glad I took the leap and started CPD. My immediate thought was, why is the quality of storytelling and writing so much better with this series than, say, the beloved SVU? Is it the quality of writers, producers, or even actors? I’m so invested in these characters that I can’t say that about the other shows, maybe not even the queen Olivia Benson. The development of this show is fantastic, and in my opinion, it is still going strong after all these years on the air. I’ve not completely caught up in real time, so I can’t comment on the current season. But now loving this show, do I start Fire and Med?
