'Shindig'
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
Ginger,
POI doesn't start with the premise of people killing folks. I am pretty sure no one gets dead on the show unless they try to kill Linus or Jesus or the person either one is protecting.
They don't aim to kill people. They don't exactly bring in law enforcement in a timely fashion either, but I don't think of them as murderers.
Regardless, I agree about L&O. You are my L&O buddy around here.
I miss the best days of Law & Order, when admissibility of evidence was often a plot point and the good guys sometimes lost.
They were doing that up until the final season, I'm sure. Probably 20%?
Sniff. I miss Connie and Mike. I heard that Rubirosa went to L&O LA before its ignominious cancellation but whatever. In my head canon, she stayed in New York and they continued to work together while having flashes of marvellous UST.
But there's little consideration of what if the guy's not guilty or of the collateral damage done along the way.
Prime Suspect has done that well.
I have a theory that procedurals should be about 5% personal lives of the good guys and 95% stuff that moves the story forward.
I'm not a procedural purist. I prefer the shows that are more character driven. I haven't seen L&O in ages.

I found someone who ran the numbers on the first 10 seasons [link] After a low point of 59% success in the 1993 season, the show went to a fairly steady 75% success rate. Now I want to find out what he needs to do the next 10 seasons.
I love the internet.
I felt there was an excess of death in the episodes of Person of Interest I watched, LeN, but I'll give it another try. I trust your judgment.

Linus Roache is recurring on SVU. He's been promoted to Bureau Chief.
I'm not missing Meloni as much as I though I would.

Ok, that almost gives me incentive to catch up on my backlog of SVU.(I haven't finished last season yet on the DVR)

I'm not missing Meloni but I don't like how Benson has become this wise-mother-sage or whatev in his absence.

Warren Leight, the showrunner for seven seasons of L&O:CI, is now running SVU, so I'm giving it another chance. I was weary of the drama from both Olivia and Elliot, and their increasingly loose interpretation of the rules.
