Last night episode was really good. It’s a shame the program doesn’t get promoted
A few weeks ago 10/WIN was promoting “new” episode(s), which were not “new”. Now they are playing new eps they are not mentioning “new”. Surely it was a mistake but they actually played the credits last night instead of the usual crashing into externals of NYC which then turns out to be another show – “Blue Bloods”. didn’t hurt did it 10? Some decent presentation for a change. Baby steps, baby steps.
The first episode of SVU last night was terrible. The racial stereotypes made it a struggle to watch. I’m not surprised so few made it through.
I, like may others it would seem, gave up watching SVU as you literally never know if it’s going to be a repeat or new. The only way for Ten to salvage SVU is to screen only new episodes (no point showing repeats with dismal ratings) in a consistent and well promoted timeslot.
Yeah & i will never understand why we get like hundreds of promos for Masterchef over the week but like none for SVU new eps! Ten hasn’t shown SVU respect in years.
