I’m rather the opposite. I found the new L&O to be unwatchable, and evidencing everything that I despise about Wolf. OTOH, FBI is the only non-sports or reality show I watch on broadcast television (though of course I watch it without ads on P+). Yes it is a tired formula, and the acting is wooden. The rumors that I mostly watch it due to a decades long infatuation with Alana de la Garza are FAKE NEWS.
