The show can only get a big approval from the majority of viewers with a new cast in place. The departed characters were abusive, violent and frankly they lacked credibility. Cops do not act like they did. They were causing stress and repulsion to the fans of Law & Order. Good riddance.
TV shows’ purpose is to entertain, not to abuse the audiences. We still had the original show which is the biggest winner & the most entertaining of them all.
