Quotes:
[Fancy has been briefing Rodriguez]
Lt. Arthur Fancy: Well, that's about it. You know, you haven't asked me any questions about the squad.
Lt. Tony Rodriguez: Yeah, guess I better do that; wouldn't want to appear apathetic. Any squadroom romances I need to be aware of?
Lt. Arthur Fancy: None right now.
Lt. Tony Rodriguez: Okay. Any old school detectives that care more about solving cases than making the bosses happy?
Lt. Arthur Fancy: Yeah. Sipowicz.
[laughing]
Lt. Arthur Fancy: He's one of a kind. If a member of my family was murdered; I'd want Sipowicz to catch the case.
Lt. Tony Rodriguez: I guess that's it then. Good luck, Captain.

Season 7 has been broadcasted on one of our local chains here in Belgium. I have been watching it with mixed emotions of curiosity and annoyance. I have read the user comments about the earlier seasons.
I completely agree with one user commenting that the crimes are solved at a glance. No supreme detective job to do except for some extremely convincing pressure in the interview rooms.
Admittedly, 50 minutes is not much to cover a more complicated crime plot BUT
- other shows do it: see Homicide, Life on the streets
- many of those 50 minutes are spent on little Theo being sick or Det. Kirkendal being involved in her husband's drug affairs.
- they use up quite some time having the characters say "How you're doing" or "Thanks" and then have them glare at eachother for ages. A lot of tension is built up between the characters and I almost burst out laughing when Gregg complained to Baldwin he felt left out most of the time: exactly how I felt !
Personally, I find the acting mostly overacting. High emotions are suggested by deep breathing - someone should teach those cops to breathe through their belly - and uncomfortable silences. There is so little joy going on. Of course, I'm unaware of the development of the characters over the seasons. Maybe there is some point in Sipowicz being so overly emotional about his boy's illness. Maybe Russell's alcoholic past makes up for her freaky behaviour. And so on ...
In the "Last round up" we get some compensation for the agony of the rest of the season. Hardly fair though.
Oh yes, one scene having it all: Russell walks down the stairs after another frustrating talk with Kirkendal. She washes away her tears in the sink. Irvin passes, stares at her, "doing okay ?" (centuries pass) "yeah". When she's gone, he bends over twice to the sink doing something like sucking up her tears or weeping himself. What the hell was that supposed to mean ???
