L&O: episodes 2 and 3
Oct. 6th, 2024 06:35 pmIn which I watch the second and third episodes of Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent. I think I will rate these episodes on how good the plot is, whether we learn anything interesting about any character, and most importantly, how Toronto the episode was.
So, my bad: The OG intro is so hardwired into my skull that I didn't realize that this series only deals with the cop side of the investigation, not the prosecutors, which is too bad because the prosecutor in this is funnier than the cops. (In general there are a lot of beats that feel like there should be a punchline, and there either isn't, or the punchline is terrible, so it's not a very high bar to be funnier than the cops.)
Anyway, did you know that Toronto was having a war on crime? It is, according to the opening voiceover!
Fun fact: In 2023, there were 73 murders in Toronto. In the first three episodes, seven people are murdered, accounting for just under 10% of all murders that happened in the city that year.
