The bigger question is how they got away with this

He's based on a real group of about 4 Jewish criminal lawyers that did what he did.

>>223188296

Jews take pride in the "conniving but effective hard ass lawyer" stereotype, they give it a pass

Smartest cop in the show was black thoughever

It's actually still more of a progressive/liberal portrayal of blacks. But it is well rounded and willing to show the realistic ugly sides of black ghetto culture which I liked, as one who had grown up near it.

It really is impossible to do anything like that these days, and so we miss good opportunities for compelling storytelling.

the actors made the show. without the iconic performances, this show would be some pseudointellectual slop

lol what, it's one of the best mapped, most deeply characterised series ever made. many respected crime fiction authors worked on the show and it shows. there were many good performances, of course, but nobody was elevating the material.
