It's excellent for that! My mom and I used to watch only the second half of the ST:TNG because she liked to catch the local news and then we'd switch over and that worked well because we could always figure out what was going on with very little difficulty and L&O requires even less paying attention. Almost as good as baseball for moving wallpaper.

L&O SVU was filming directly in front of Sticky’s Finger Joint today, and I couldn’t get the lunch I wanted.

I’m liking Magpie Murders. Only two episodes in, but good so far. I did read the book, and I remember some things but not everything, so that’s interesting (I remember who did it in “real life” but not in the manuscript, for example) and I’m pleased with the adaptation as an adaptation, fwtw

I'd been looking forward to the Will Trent show, since I'd been reading the books from the start. I saw the second one and kept thinking how different it was from the book. I may not continue with it.

I've been enjoying Will Trent. For me he has a bit of an Agent Pendergast vibe that sucked me in right away.

I've been watching a lot of cop shows from the 70s and 80s like Quincy, Hunter, and Kojak. It's a little disturbing to see how much these "heroes" were sexist assholes.

I was watching some 70s and 80s game shows, and ditto. And when we had Hulu a couple of years ago, we watched St. Elsewhere. Yikes.
