I don't recall it being that notably clean in 2000 either. Pretty close to what I saw of actual Chicago around the same time.

What is even happening?
FOX has cancelled Prodigal Son after two seasons. It comes from Warner Bros., so Deadline isn't sure if it's truly dead, or if they'll shop it elsewhere, or move it to HBO Max. [link]
Cast reaction round-up: [link]
We inhaled season one, but never got past the second episode of season two. I have much less tolerance for dark shows, right now. I am watching a couple, but I just couldn't get back into this one.

*When* will I learn not to get attached to FOX shows?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Probably about the time they actually let a series run to its natural conclusion.

What is even happening?
Did anyone else catch the Big Sky season finale? That was a pretty big cliff hanger. Good thing it was renewed for a second season. I'd be pretty pissed if the series ended on that note.
I don't know if the above was David E. Kelley's decision or Elwood Reid's decision, but I really don't respect showrunners who don't respect their audience as consumers of a story.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, hm. That doesn't strike me as a good fit for the zeitgeist.

L&O Reboot
Unless there's a major season arc about rooting out police corruption, I think I'll pass.
I've been watching procedurals set in Australia and New Zealand lately. (There may be issues in the antipodes, too, but I'm not aware enough of them for it to interfere with my enjoyment of the shows.) Lucy Lawless is in "My Life is Murder," which is kind of fun. And "The Brokenwood Mysteries" has a small-town-Colombo vibe.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm a heathen who has maybe watched 3 L&O episodes. My husband likes to visit my sister and watch them with her while I fuss on my computer or read. The dun dun drives me nuts for unknown reasons.
