So, I turned on season 17 of law and order svu, because why not.

Am I missing something? I feel like these episodes all build a really cool crime and story, but then there is never any climax. There was an episode about police corruption, which ended after they the cops got charged. It seems like they all end with the arrest, and don't show the conclusion. I'm getting so frustrated with it.

Has svu always been like this? I remember watching regular law and order back in the day. The 2nd half of the show was always the legal part, and where all the cool shit got hammered out. Doesn't seem to be the case with svu

I had no idea that the show went 17 seasons. If that's the case, I've probably seen less than 20% of episodes, but yeah, I had the same problem. "regular" law and order was way better in my opinion, because of that 2nd half legal shit. Sam Waterston was the nads.

I got caught up on Homeland. I'm pretty sure it's just a bad show that rewards binge watching, which seems to be a common tactic nowadays that fools people into thinking shows are good.

Can someone explain homeland to me? This is what I see pretty much every episode:

Carrie: "Hey there casual acquaintance, how about you do this extremely risky and possibly illegal favor for me"

other guy: "but national security....but chain of command....but ethics.....but.....

Carrie: "But I need it!! It's the only way I can get what I want!!"

Other guy: "ooooohhhh, ok"

And then she proceeds to run off on some crazy tangent that jeopordizes the mission and causes all kinds of unnecessary suspense that takes away from the hugely satisfying "good guys chasing bad guys" dynamic.

Despite receiving so many bold favors, she really doesn't' seem to give a shit about anyone but herself. She never repays these favors, and yet everyone keeps bending over backwards for every one of her "crazy schemes". WTF, she's not even that hot.
