What's everyone think--if you're watching---the new/old one??

I watched the first episode of the new one. I thought it was just ok. I’m not a fan of the white male detective. And the ADA sounds to me like a Brit trying to do an American accent (which I discovered was right when I looked him up). Most people I absolutely can’t tell, but knew immediately with him. And Sam Waterston with those eyebrows that run down 1/2 of his face! Please, no!
I’m going to hang in there for a few more.

Says it’s no way near the old one.

The first one was just ok, so I'm hoping the 2nd one is better. I love Anthony Anderson, so Im glad to see him back. I'm also a huge fan of Burn Notice so it's nice to see Jeffrey Donovan on tv.

I tried to watch it and my kids thought it was a parody, not an actual show.
The William Shatner level acting didn’t help.
Not at all a fan of the new detectives, especially the white one.
Nothing like the original.
(Did anyone watch The Good Wife and remember the show they had on the tv throughout all the seasons…like a really bad detective melodrama…my kids asked if it was that show 🤣🤣)

I forgot it was back. I recorded the second episode. I watched every original law and order multiple times back in the day...except the last episode. I've never seen it because I didn't want it to be over
I'll give this one a shot. I love Sam Waterson, so...

We were so excited for it to come back... and whomp whomp. Like others have said couldn’t stand the new detective and the modern crisp production value of 2022 just doesn’t give off the vibe of the old ones which made it feel strange to us. We still watch reruns almost every night on the various networks where we can find them. Even the seasons of old that weren’t our favorites are better to watch than the new one IMO.

I haven't watched the 2nd episode yet but did watch the 1st one.
I didn't think it was bad honestly. It felt very reminiscent of the original seasons.
I'm not a fan of the white detective, so am hoping he mellows out. I'll continue watching.

I really really really wanted to love this new/old series. I’m gonna give it one more week and then I’m done

We’ve watched the first two, also. After the 1st one, we were unimpressed. I’m even less impressed by the 2nd one. I had a hard time following the storyline. I love Anthony Anderson, also. His delivery is off somehow in this show. One time when he was delivering a line, I told my husband it sounded like he was ready a bio from “To Tell the Truth”, he hosts this show.
I also thought that it looked off visually. I thought almost they were trying to make it look like a show from the 1990s.

We loved him in Burn Notice, and he's been in a million other shows. I haven't watched yet, but was looking forward to it. Now I'm not so sure...

Loved Burn Notice, but for some reason Jeffrey Donovan is coming off with some weird 40's film noir accent. It's so distracting to me.

Yes, Jeffrey Donovan. I actually didn't mind him in episode 2. He did seem more mellow.
I'm struggling with the ADAs at this point.

Yes I have liked him in other things, but this is like watching him do a bad SNL skit of a noir private eye or something. It is one of the weirdest performances I have ever seen and not in a good way.
