Law & Order
Law & Order is garbage. The subject of the last episode of this police/courtroom drama was a potential international terrorist and vigilante Americans. But despite the promise of this topic, the program fell into the same unsophisticated pattern it has repeatedly walked in episodes on computer crime, child abuse, and so on. My objection is not that it espouses positions with which I disagree; it is that the writing is hackish, choosing show characters to hold opposite but equally naïve positions in order to generate dramatic tension and (presumably) to raise the ire of the viewer.
