Many years ago I had a theory about how each L&O had an overriding political philosophy:
L&O - Marxist (poor people are often forced into desperate acts of criminality, but the rich are the true villains)L&O: SVU - Schopenhauer (life is pain)L&O: CI - Nietzsche (some people are smarter than/superior to others, it is up to the superman detective to be smarter than/superior to his criminal adversaries)

comments about how people underestimate how unhinged Stabler was seem to forget the Dick Wolf Chicago shows, where it's revealed that some Good Cops are going to get in trouble because they like to torture people for information and confessions, but their methods got some results
can't speak to the fire and hospital shows attached to that spinoff other than the crossovers because it's obvious they concentrated all the casting and writing on the cop show

I'm going to sound like I've been living under a rock but what was it specifically that ruined this for you? I feel like we've been living in such a hellscape the past six months anyway
