My Top Pick is Law & Order, which is starting its 21st season on NBC. This is considered a continuation of the mothership, which previously ran 1990-2010. I would complain about how pathetic is is that the show apparently can’t stand on its own, then I remember that this is hardly a fledgling, it’s Law & freakin’ Order. Also, I’m glad to have a network show to give Top Pick to after three straight Thursdays of HBO Max.
Let’s see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, Feb. 24. All times are EST.
