Another solid episode in what has been a solid Season. Not quite up to the levels of last Season but still miles ahead of Seasons 21 and 22. That being said I truly believe this show needs a new show runner. It lacks and has lacked a lot of what made the original run so great. Which is hard to understand given Rick Eid was previously the show runner for part of the original run. But if I recall even that run wasn’t the most liked or well received. Hardly, if any, side characters such as Detective Yee (who was back a couple episodes ago and is now gone again), medical examiner, psychiatrist, etc. Hardly, if any, case law given during the legal arguments or when the DAs are talking about the case. And if there is it’s all very surface level. The DA’s themselves seem to hardly ever get out of the office to work the case. Hardly see them spending any time together either. And then the character moments, which were never really a big part of the original, here just seemed rushed and thrown in for the sake of being there. Nolan’s dad being introduced a few episodes back? Great! A little insight into who he is and what makes him tick. This could go somewhere. Oh wait, no it can’t, let’s kill it off in the second episode we bring it up in! He has a brother? Two brothers? I don’t ever recall much being said about that. Oh and I couldn’t have rolled my eyes harder that the case somehow lined up with what Nolan was dealing with? Come on now. I don’t know I’m glad the mothership is back but we need some tightening up on some things and better world building. I worry this revival is going to go out with a whimper!
I wasn't interested at all in the story with Price and his brother and father. I wish they would have skipped over it, I don't think it added anything. It seems like in every episode, or in two many episodes, that Price has a witness who changes their testimony. It's overused! This episode fell flat for me.
