Only if you work under "I wanna be your friend" Reid.

Deidre Lovejoy from The Blacklist and The Wire.

Please, NO!

He can only do wisecracks, just like when he was on five-oh.

I can't understand how this show was renewed as it is such a "crapfest."

It sounds as if he'll be back based on this article I read this morning: https://bitl.to/4DmP

He really exploited Melissa in that TV "interview." I thought she was going to walk out. And yes, they are showing no urgency regarding Elijah's impending execution. ETA: I didn't realize that Jasperson was so big. Wiki has him listed as 6' 7" and 255 lbs.

I thought that would have been the verdict, with a do-over in an upcoming episode.

My thought, exactly.

I just completed episode 1 and Uzo Aduba (Cordelia Cupp) is hitting it out of the park.

I'm hoping he's a "one and done" but since he's Celina's bf it's inevitable he'll be back.

I knew I recognized the "accident hero" estranged from his son. Det. Roland "Prez" Pryzbylewski from "The Wire" played by Jim True-Frost.

This episode should have been titled: "A Potpourri of Crap"

Scola must be loaded; $36k with no questions asked. Nina's sister sounds like an enabler that can't cope with reality.

Not necessarily; Colter is a "tracker." Running around Manhattan, in and out of posh hotels and boutiques is not what the root of the show intended. At least not from my point of view.

The magic of television and the far-reaching imaginations of the writers/show-runners.

ITA, but in fairness to the bartender, the show cast a 25-year-old actor to play a 16-year-old kid. That's stretching the boundaries of realism much too much.

Given Nick's personality and his demeanor toward his subordinates, I found it hard to believe he would even consider dating a defense attorney with a personality displayed by slimy Kate.

Yes, that is what I was referring to.

Well, I believe that was a television first. At least it was for me.

It was good to see Ann Kelsey (Jill Eikenberry) again. Last year, I binge-watched L.A. Law.

Found this by Googling: TV actors, depending on their role and contract, can be paid a daily rate, by the episode, or through a combination of these methods, with potentially extra compensation through residuals and backend points, especially for stars. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Initial Payments: Daily Rate: Many actors, especially those with smaller roles, are paid a daily rate for the time they spend filming. Per Episode: Series regulars, those in recurring roles, and guest stars are often paid a fee per episode, which can vary widely depending on the show's budget and the actor's experience and status. Weekly Rate: Some actors are paid a weekly rate, especially for longer-term roles. Additional Considerations: Union Agreements: Most network television actors are covered by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), which sets minimum rates for various roles and provides protections for actors. Negotiation: Actors, especially those with established careers or strong agents, can negotiate for higher pay and better terms, including backend deals and residuals. Residuals: Residuals are payments actors receive beyond their initial compensation for the use of their performance in reruns, streaming services, or other formats. SAG-AFTRA calculates residuals based on a formula considering the actor's contract, time spent on the production, the production type, and the market where the show appears. Backend Points: Some actors negotiate "backend points," which means they earn a percentage of the show's or movie's profits, allowing them to continue earning money from a show or film's success. Other Income: In addition to their initial pay and residuals, actors may also earn money from merchandising, appearances, signings, or other activities related to their roles.

Just found this article re: Bobby's absence: https://bitl.to/48kb

This show is getting farcical. I think I'm also done.
