Recent tv: Chicago Justice

Spoilers under the cut.

I really liked this and the emphasis is on cases and not romance. Looking at you Doubt and Conviction, that's how you get cancelled in under two eps. It felt very old school and yet modern, and Jon Seda is on there. Hi Dino. Man he must have a picture like Dorian Gray, cause he's barely aging at all. Gravel-voiced Jason Beghe guest-starred and is my hero cause he left Scientology IRL and starred in "Going clear". Ahem.
So this is my go-to legal drama now.

I really liked Justice, too. Especially by the third episode, which was finding more of a pacing and story of its own away from PD and Fire. It felt very old school L&O to me and that made me really happy (since SVU has become such a mess). I hope it keeps up a good team feeling and delivers more twisty plot lines that are actually engaging, instead of Yet Another Rape Case.

God SVU is so messy what with the Trump ep that cannot be aired and Fin and Barba and Amanda being sidelined for saint Liv. I think Justice can be really good.
