Superstar Guest Gabe Broderick returns as we discuss the debut episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent Toronto! We muse about orthodox walking routes, whether one of the detectives should lead us to believe this should be named Law & Order: Moose Jaw and the scourge of wallpaper being back in fashion. Plus, the highs, lows and MVP's of Season 23! Join us on Twix @the27precinct or FB at The 27th Precinct
As Season 23 closes, Erinn and Oliver analyze Episode 13 and find it.....okay. Spur-of-the-moment witness prep, kitchen scenes with no food but possible winning lottery tickets and Taylor Swift may be calling her legal team. Plus, has Lennie's daughter returned?

A good to great episode that addresses some viewer questions, however Erinn has serious concerns about the opening and closing of the show. Plus, Oliver is left with a ordering mystery and Price is forced to feel what Maroun does on a regular basis. Join us on Twix @the27thprecinct and our FB page The 27th Precinct
Dixon gets some character development. apparent injustice in the Humanitarian Of The Year Award voting and some unfortunate moustache choices. Join us in the analysis and frivolity! Join us on Twix as well @the27thprecinct
Perhaps the wonkiest of episodes this season, Erinn finds it a "relax on the couch" type of episode, while Oliver gets irate over the menu and the outrage grows from there. Plus, 'devils lettuce" chat on a episode recorded on 4/20. Join us on Twix @the27thprecinct
A generally positive episode with some flaws, Erinn and Oliver talk about missed opportunities and breaking the "red herring" record. Plus, Erinn hits up "The Googs" for a slang expression investigation and Oliver tries to make "Nibbles For Millions" a thing. Join us @the27thprecinct on Twix!
Things improve this week with a twist-y, turn-y episode which include questions about the correct noun for an MMA training centre, brown liquor at work and the potential for a NewGuyNick/Price showdown! Plus, Maroun gets a nickname. Join us on Twitter/X @the27thprecinct
There's a new DA in town and it is a rocky introduction. We ruminate on weird office meetings, bad acting, cliches aplenty and Bankers Box contents for ex-employees. Plus, the gradual degredation of lawyer bars. Join us on Twitter/X @the27thprecinct!
We're without a DA this week, but no matter, as the episode exhibits the best of what L&O has to offer. Erinn has a concern over repetition and Oliver wonders about what makes a party "epic", but all is forgiven as we review this powerful episode. Plus, bougie cop bars! Join us on Twitter/X @the27thprecinc
Jack McCoy's final turn on screen, and as we celebrate Sam Waterston's performance (and face-acting!), we end up being non-plussed by the episode. Hats, scarfs as fashion and a L&O/Mr. Robot crossover all factor into the episode, plus Erinn treats us to a Looney Tunes thinkpiece! Join us on Twitter/X @the27thprecinct
Erinn and Oliver are closer in gavel ratings this week as we enjoy the first half of the episode as it goes full circle, but questions are raised about the second-half strategy and whether foreshadowing is being forced on the viewer. Plus, rock star references! Join us on X/Twitter @the27thprecinct
Gavel Gap Alert! Erinn appreciated the background provided on Det. Riley (AKA Our Detective Vinny), however, Oliver worries that perhaps hero worship takes the place of case details. L&O decides to get "spicy" again with laughable results, Yee continues to be an all-star and we decide that Lt. Dixon never orders chardonnay. Join us @the27thprecinct on X/Twitter!
Erinn and Oliver are back! After a nine month break, we have a lot to go over like new cast members, non-promotions, absent beer can-crushing AND lawyer snacks. Gavel agreement and a game of "What Would Adam Do?" are also included as well as a preview and Drake-based story scenerios for Law & Order: Criminal Intent Toronto! Join us on X @the27thprecinct
Erinn and Oliver review Season 22's last episode and wonder why soap opera elements took precidence over a kernel of an important issue. Acting improves, Price shines (a first!) but we could do without Jack's familial issues Also, we take a look back at our fave episodes and our not-so-faves of Season 22, plus we discuss some cast changes and themes for Season 23. Missed an episode? All of our episodes are available, including our full season reviews from Season 1 to Season 20!

In the penultimate episode of Season 22, Erinn celebrates Dixon's 50th birthday shenanigans and a return to a classic L&O tableau of the art world and Oliver has many questions. A slight imbalance of gavel ratings, but both agree an improvment on the last episode! Plus, creepy landlords getting away scott-free. Join us on Twitter @the27thprecinct
We review the latest episode and Erinn admits she only has time for rich student stories if they were in "Rushmore" and Oliver tries to use "sus" in a sentence with lamentable results. Poor writing, poor acting and opportunities missed are front and centre in the latest episode of L&O. Join us on Twitter @the27thprecinct
Erinn and Oliver enjoy an episode with L&O classic themes. Difficult questions with no easy answers and a sense of teamwork from the characters create "gavel" agreement. Plus, we muse on whether or not Antifa has membership cards and the world's shortest chase scene. Join us! Join us on Twitter @the27thprecinct
We apologize for the one week delay because Oliver has yet to understand how buttons work, but we return with a very good L&O epiosde. Erinn and Oliver muse about instututing a permenant M.E., whether the writers could have combined the NXIVM story with a Teal Swan ingredient, plus we wonder where all the cats are. Join us on Twitter @the27thprecinct
Wow...things are going downhill. Erinn and Oliver ruminate over a below-average episode and have to entertain themselves by guessing the origin of the term "Pops", whether "Baby Mama" has become a pedestrian term in the lexicon and prudish Oliver revokes Price's "Gentleman Card" All this on a supersized episode as we seemingly address ALL of L&O's issues! Join us on Twitter @the27thprecinct
Erinn and Oliver return after a month long break with an episode that teases some interesting outcomes, yet fails to realize most of them. Dixon and Maroun seemingly do disappearing acts, Price fails to make an argument and we ponder the Deputy Mayor of New York's real estate and security choices.
