This week's Elizabeth Holmes-meets-#MeToo episode was particularly cringeworthy, says Dustin Rowles. "Please, will someone hire anyone under the age of 55 for this writers’ room? It’s like if Aaron Sorkin had to write a procedural after being hit in the head," he says, adding: "An out-of-touch Law & Order worked fine when the rest of the world was out of touch. It’s struggling now, because it doesn’t want to be out of touch, but it hasn’t figured out how not to be yet."

The Revival of the Original Law & Order should be short lived before the end of 2021-22 season and the writers need to come to their senses.
