2024 TV Season Analysis – Organized Crime Tops the Franchise, Law & Order Better, SVU Needs an Overhaul

The 2023-24 TV season has been a truncated TV season of 13 episodes, due the ongoing WGA/SAG-AFTRA strikes that happened last year. A lot of scripted TV was back burned until the strikes ended. TV writers struck their deal first and were back to work promptly, long before actors/actresses, this should have given time to plan out their already short season. Production crunched for 13 episodes to be shot between late November until this coming week, where SVU and mother ship reboot will be wrapping up shooting their finale episodes.

But where does this season grade in its entirety? I’m going to summarize – as much as I can - my views on where the franchise stands for this season from best to worst. Click below to read.

Organized Crime – The best in the franchise creatively, hands down!

New show runner/executive producer John Shiban (The X-Files) and his writing staff understood their assignment and have definitely delivered. Organized Crime is the most entertaining series in the franchise this season, week-over-week. The storylines are so fleshed out and they don’t drag on as they had since the series started. Shiban has shifted focus to the OC main characters and their backstories as well as expanding on the OC unit in its entirety. We’ve even seen 2 of SVU’s former stars show up (Tamara Tunie, Chief M.E. Melinda Warner / Dann Florek, Donald Cragen) as well as an appearance by Peter Scanavino (ADA Dominick Carisi). We have even been introduced to more of Stabler’s family, his brothers – portrayed by guest stars Dean Norris and Michael Trotter – and while they’ve come in and shook things up for Stabler, one thing I can point out, it’s the first season since OC premiered where I haven’t felt that Elliot Stabler is on a quest for vengeance or retribution of some kind.

The cast has been firing on all cylinders this season, especially with the episode that just aired last week (“Crossroads”), where one of OC’s new team members went missing and was found to be killed, Stabler having the bury his body as he is undercover with the group that found Detective-in-Training Samir Bashir (guest star Abubakr Ali). This story is still playing out so as of now we don’t fully know who killed him but I’m sure we’re about to find out. Stabler’s younger brother, Joe Jr. may have some involvement as the investigation is about to come full circle. Meanwhile, the scene in question in this episode has Christopher Meloni and Danielle Mone Truitt deliver their most powerful scene together yet in the series and they have delivered quite a few, this one stands out though.

Excellent only begins to describe it, and Organized Crime this season. Organized Crime has yet to be renewed for the 2024-25 TV season.

Law & Order (reboot) – It’s improved, but we still have a ways to go.

There is a lot to be said of the mother ship series, both the original and this reboot. But this reboot has seen a lot in its short time on air, in this short season alone the cast has changed twice already. Jeffrey Donovan (Detective Frank Cosgrove) and the series parted ways weeks before production was set to start and veteran Sam Waterston (District Attorney Jack McCoy) chose to depart before mid-season. Sam Waterston is/will greatly be missed and he leaves behind a full legacy on the show, which he joined in 1994! Meanwhile newcomers Reid Scott (Detective Vincent Riley) and Tony Goldwyn (District Attorney Nicholas Baxter) have been welcomed by fans with open arms. The cast of the reboot no matter which season is very solid and they are all very talented, but their talents often seem crippled.

The reboot seems to have an issue fleshing out the characters. Det. Jalen Shaw (Mehcad Brooks) and ADA Sam Maroun (Odelya Halevi) – and add DA Nick Baxter (Goldwyn) to me, week-in and week-out are the unsung heroes as with them we can see depth, we can understand why they make the decisions they make or feel the way they do on certain topics. I’m still on the fence about Riley’s development but he’s definitely has a more solid partnership with Shaw than Cosgrove did, and he certainly is a better character. I think they’ve got a great detective duo here – reminiscent of that of Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin) and Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) in season 18. From about the third episode this season on up, there has been an improvement in the writing, I must say in comparison from where the season started. Most of the episodes this season seem to have one singular writer who stands out, Pamela Wechsler, who also serves as executive producer. Girl power!

What can help the reboot:

The writers need to get away from talking points and political affiliation when it comes to the characters and even the weekly storylines - looking at you show runner Rick Eid - it makes the characters come off as caricatures and stereotypes. And maybe not directly rip the episodes from the headlines near verbatim. It takes away from it if we already know how it plays out – where is “the Law & Order twist?” They need to deep dive into Vincent Reilly, Nolan Price (Hugh Dancy) and Kate Dixon (Camryn Manheim); we have talented actors on here, give them something that makes us stand up and clap and relate to these characters and stop making them one-dimensional, especially ADA Price. I must say I’ve been enjoying the legal side a bit more with the addition of Goldwyn’s Baxter, his back-and-forth every week with Price has a feel of the original series run, where we see multiple points of views on cases and it doesn’t feel/sound like rhetoric. And speaking of that run, it wouldn’t hurt for them to find ways to invest those old characters in the reboot. Just because Sam has departed doesn’t mean we still don’t want to see old faces or even faces from the other L&O series show up. Elisabeth Rohm (ADA Serena Southerlyn) and Milena Govich (Det. Nina Cassady) have directed episodes! Raul Esparza and Hugh Dancy both starred in Hannibal, I could see former-ADA now Defense Attorney Rafael Barba sitting at the defense table and likely wiping the floor with Price! Tony Goldwyn even wants Mariska Hargitay to direct an episode. Let’s make the mother ship enjoyable to watch again!

It was renewed for a 24th season (4th for the reboot). The mother ship has a second chance at greatness and to continue its legacy on television, not a lot of shows get that. It would be wise that those in charge on mother ship remember that.

SVU – The 25th milestone season ranks as one of the worst.

I originally had a two-page long document on this season of SVU alone and I’ve had to shorten it down and it’s still not that short. But if I had to describe the 25th record-breaking season of SVU in 1 word, that word would be “bad.” There are calls on social media for show runner/executive producer David Graziano to be fired from the series. I’m not one to openly call for people to lose their jobs, but clearly there is something wrong and the downward spiral of the ratings mixed with bad press for SVU episodes this season is showing that. Nothing about season 25 jumps out as milestone season and there are only a handful of episodes as of now, that I would consider episodes worth going back to watch again: “Tunnel Blind”, “Duty to Report”, “Probability of Doom”, and “Children of Wolves” which was directed by Mariska Hargitay.

It’s the writing and direction of this season, period. There is no other reason or excuse that flies. There is clearly no investment from the management level behind the scenes at SVU in this milestone season being the best it could have been. The Maddie storyline overtook the season and its resolution didn’t exactly hit the mark either. Where is the retrospective? Why haven’t we gone over past cases? Seen former victims/survivors (other than 2 minutes worth of Maria from “911”)? Why did Olivia stop seeing Dr. Lindstrom (Bill Irwin)? Where is the ‘healing?’ The guest stars? We haven’t seen any former stars, other than Kelli Giddish (Detective Amanda Rollins), and that proves to me that it was a mistake to fire her in the first place. “Where is the energy? Where is the spatter? This is life-less dreck. A cheap knock-off…” (diehard SVU fans; if you know, you know). But seriously, nothing about this season overall screams “25 years!”

With the season opener, I was sure David Graziano and the writers turned the page on the mess that was most of the entire 24th season of SVU. Turns out I was wrong to think it. It seems to be doubled down. It’s proof that despite his behavior, he’s just not a good fit for SVU. He doesn’t seem to understand how to write for this show and be the voice of who women/people look up to and the voice that victims and survivors need. I honestly think he would serve better on a Criminal Intent reboot or something since he seems to like that aspect of the crimes more so than investigatory and the legal side – Peter Scanavino’s screen time has greatly decreased and well as legal scenes.

What can help SVU:

A lot of damage is done, but it’s not irreversible. The best call is to replace the person at the top if they aren’t going to change themselves, (sorry but not sorry David). The popular eras of SVU are seasons 3-7 and again 13-17 and for good reason; Neal Baer and Warren Leight remain the two people who have seen SVU at their peaks. Going into a record breaking season 26, someone who can understand the intricacies of SVU needs to take the helm and get this show turned around. Focus needs to be on steadying the storylines and fleshing them out in a meaningful way to where they connect and not have crucial bits just disappear into thin air. We need to get SVU’s focus back on uplifting the voices of victims and survivors and their journeys, as well as to delve deep again into the world of the NYPD SVU squad. It’s not just about “rape case of the week” the actual SVU deals with kidnappings, crimes against the children, the disabled/elderly, working in conjunction with the Hate Crimes unit/federal govt., trafficking and more, let’s get the variety back in the crimes – and let’s stop showing the crime taking place on screen and in graphic manner. The crime scene analysis, forensics, court scenes and legalese needs to be put back into this series, I’ve honestly felt it decrease even before S24 as far back as some S22.

We need to see Carisi navigate through these cases and the back-and-forth with the defense as well as in his own bureau. We’ve yet to see Carisi interact with the district attorney (Jack McCoy, Sam Waterston – now Nick Baxter, Tony Goldwyn) much like his preceding ADAs. Benson’s character needs to go back to therapy and deal with her issues head on (Lindstrom, Bill Irwin), she had done that up until EDMR in season 24 became her new way and it’s not working for her, since the writers seem to use it now as a crutch to say “she’s healing” but then turn around and have her do things to suggest otherwise. Benson also needs to be written as a leader and delegator more so than taking every case away from her “squad” and solving them personally. Actually from a story standpoint it would be great to see Benson face repercussions for continually doing this, in the real world that would have consequences as how can she personally investigate cases and run the unit?

And with the unit, their stories need to be dissected more. Velasco (Octavio Pisano) in particular, he had an edge in season 23 as the new guy that might be a snitch for the Chief of Detectives (McGrath, Terry Serpico) but in season 24 they pushed this character into a corner with liking Detective Grace Muncy (Molly Burnett, who departed last season) and the Chilly storyline last season and can’t seem to get him out of that corner. Velasco comes off as “just there” much in the way Fin (ICE T) is starting to. And where is Phoebe (Jennifer Esposito)? Detective Bruno and Captain (to-Detective or Chief?) Curry (Kevin Kane and Aime Donna Kelly) are pretty much holding down the squad and are actually the more I look to, to solve the cases and they are the only ones peaking my interest.

SVU is heading to record-breaking season 26, if they want to reach their goal of stopping at 30. Dick Wolf, NBC and those behind the scenes need to get serious about it if that is what they really want. Otherwise, you’re about to have long-time viewers and new viewers alike turning away. Despite what people believe about ever-lasting loyalty, it does have an end date.

What do you think? Do you agree or disagree? Feel free to respond!

Duality of (a) Woman

On some days for Ayanna Bell, the threshold to her home was a marker where she shed her skin and became someone else. The icy confidence and take-no-prisoners attitude that she pulled on each time she went to work for Manhattan's Organized Crime unit was unnecessary in the plainness of the home she shared with Denise - and now their baby boy.

Ayanna was all strut and rough exterior on the way out the door, then just a momma and wife on the way back in. She liked it that way, and that was just how it was on Christmas morning, as she slipped quietly home in the filtered light of pre-dawn.

The apartment was as silent as the snow-covered forest of a fairy tale. As she came down the hall carrying her shoes in one hand, she found Denise sleeping on the couch, one of Jackson's baby blankets clutched to her chest. On the coffee table there was a Christmas platter laid out with cookies for Santa, and a glass of milk.

The baby was just six months old - obviously too small to understand the story of Santa Claus, but Denise had insisted she wouldn't skip anything for the boy's very first Christmas. So Ayanna made sure to leave some cookie crumbs on the plate as she took a couple, nibbling them soundlessly as she drifted in the direction of the tree.

They had decorated it together, in lights and red plaid ribbons, alongside dangling ornaments just like she remembered from her childhood. It whispered and twinkled in the dawn, waiting for its one morning of the year to show off. Finishing her cookies, Ayanna ran her fingertips over the branches, deep in her reverie.

When the spell was broken, she went to Jackson's crib to find him already awake; he babbled at his crib toys contentedly, every now and then grabbing a foot and pulling it to his mouth.

"Merry Christmas, my big man," Ayanna smiled, picking him up. "What d'you say we make your momma some Christmas breakfast?"

She changed his diaper, dressing him in a little Santa outfit that they'd picked specifically for Christmas day, then padded back out to the kitchen. Jackson sat in his high chair, watching Ayanna with bright, curious eyes as she got ingredients together to cook French toast.

In the living room, Denise was still sleeping peacefully.

Ayanna hummed Christmas music softly and bopped about as she worked, every now and then getting a gurgling giggle out of the baby. With the frying pan turned down low and the coffee dripping, she pulled him into her arms, swaying, still humming, carrying him to where their stockings were tacked to the wall.

"See that? That's for you!" she whispered to him, pointing to the red sock that had a teddy bear face at the top bearing a Santa hat. "Santa brought that for you!"

Behind them, Denise suddenly spoke: "Now here's a nice scene to wake up to. I'd complain less if I could wake up to it more often."

Ayanna turned to her wife's teasing smile and crossed to pass Jackson down into her arms. "You'd complain less, and we'd eat less," she returned, planting a warm kiss on her mouth. "Gotta pay them bills!"

"Who eats breakfast before opening presents on Christmas, anyway?" Denise asked, pressing her fingertip into Jackson's plump mouth for him to suck on.

"Hungry six month old baby boys, for one," Ayanna chuckled. "People who work all night." She made her point by snagging a piece of bacon from the pan.

Her wife merely rolled her eyes as she adjusted her shirt to give the baby her breast. With him latched, she crossed to the kitchen, rocking him gently as she watched Ayanna get the food ready for the table. Back and forth she crossed, bringing plates, forks, mugs of coffee - sneaking glances every now and then at where Jackson and Denise were connected. Ayanna was awed by the duality, of a place that gave her such pleasure also being the place their son was most comforted.

When he seemed to be done, Denise settled him back in the high chair and pulled it over to the table where they sat. Breakfast was hot and delicious, and they made smiling smalltalk across the table as they devoured it. The little one followed the bites to their mouths with curious big eyes, hands smacking the tray in front of him to express his eagerness to share in their food and language.

When he could take their ambivalence no longer, Jackson let out a shriek that startled both women. They turned their heads to him.

"Mummummum!" he said loudly.

Ayanna and Denise looked back at one another with wide, surprised eyes.

"Did he just - " Ayanna giggled, excited.

"I think he did!"

They clambered to the baby, Ayanna lifting him out and up in her arms. "You just said your first word! You just called me Mom!"

Denise frowned, confused. "Wait. You? I thought he was calling me Mom?"

Her wife tipped her head. "No, we said you were going to be Momma ... "

"I - " Denise put her hands on her hips, "But I've been referring to myself as 'Mom' when I talk to him around the house and stuff!"

"Well, I've been referring to you as 'Momma'!"

They went silent for another moment, looking from Jackson to each other, unsure how to proceed.

"What were you trying to say, little guy - Mom? Or Momma?" Ayanna asked.

"What difference does it make if we don't even know which one of us he thinks is which?!" Denise groaned.

She shrugged. "Maybe he wasn't trying to say either - he is only six months old, Dee."

The baby put his head to Ayanna's shoulder and blinked sleepily. Behind them, presents sparkled under the tree, crying out to be opened. She leaned over and kissed Denise softly.

"Merry Christmas. Let's open some gifts before we lose little Santa's attention."

Denise smiled and nodded. "I guess for today we can both be Mom and Momma."
