NOTE TO PRODUCERS: People tune into a Law and Order franchise show because they want a fast-paced adventure into the world of NYC crime. Your show is spending WAAAAAAY too much time on Elliot's personal life. What is the matter? Are you three seasons in and already you have run out of any other potential stories regarding organized crime? Meloni is the #1 draw for this show but, I would be more interested in watching Stabler work in the Manhattan Shoplifting Unit than watching him deal with his family drama. PLEASE get us back into serious cases and epic storytelling. The arc with the Albanian Mafia was the apex of this show so far, please get back to the business of Law and Order. If I want to be bored watching a procedural, I will tune to CBS.
EDITED TO ADD, ONE MONTH LATER: OK, I have finally had it. I took this show off of my DVR. This is the first Law and Order series I ever stopped watching. I even stuck with CONVICTION and TRIAL BY JURY to the end. As much as I love Meloni, this has just strained all possible credibility at this point and I find myself literally and figuratively tuning out.
