I'm watching an old, first-season, Law & Order episode.

Criminy, this is such intense TV. I am normally, not a fan of 'emotion' in television, but in this episode, I am overwhelmed. When the corrupt cop put his hand against Kragen's face, ... this is so intense.

Why did this show become such a monster? Television like this episode, that's why...

As TV goes, this is ferocious — ferocious.
