The seasons of Law & Order currently available to watch on Netflix get better as they go along.
The writers, producers, and directors are hitting their groove.
There are still words and phrases and action dynamics that get repeated a lot.
It's as if the writers are new to it, and they're partly trying to be like the original Law & Order, and partly trying to add new things.
In just about every episode, the person in charge at the precinct, played by actress Camryn Manheim, refers to the crime victim as "the vick."
In many episodes, when the two main detectives go to interview someone, the person runs like hell to escape them and they have to chase the person.
---------------- Their suit jackets flap and fly out as they "pound the pavement."
And in several episodes where someone is referring to a murder victim, they say, "He is - eh - was..."
Maybe just have the people sometimes say, "He's such-and-such..." and others in other episodes say "He was - this-and-that..."
Sometimes present tense, and sometimes past tense, and not make such an emphasis on the speaker remembering in the moment that the person he's talking about is now dead.
Oh - just as I type this, one of the detectives says somebody-or-other "can kiss my ass."
Get some alternative phrases and expressions, folks!
