Folk Hero

Most obvious rendition of LM. I cannot wait for him to come out innocent and you all look stupid af. 0/10 this sucked, never cook again. Absolutely terrible portrayal of L, as he's still on trail, and as a lot of his "evidence" is inadmissible. Can this trash be illegal? It's so bad it's like a crime to my eyes, ears, all my senses! Just terrible. Never cook again for the sake of everyone that had the misfortune of watching this unruly show. If I had a nickel got every LM show/doc that had come out before his trial was over i'd have like....3 nickels. You people are sick. Making money on a man who's life is literally on the line, a make whose presumed innocent until proven guilty!

This series has a lot of stories "Ripped from the Headlines" It is pretty much what the series is known for. Difference is that previously they wait until AFTER the case is concluded. This case comes directly from the killing of a health insurance company CEO only 5 moths ago.

The concern here is that this episode could influence the jury in the real case.

The episode showed the widespread support for the killer. Right now most people think that the killing was wrong but a lot of people were applauding the action.

Almost like the Joker movie for real (the original not the sequel)

The thing that should concern is not the action of the killer but rather the fact that large numbers of people sympathize with the killer and regard the CEO guy as a low-life.

Where do you start? I agree that this thinly designed plot is clearly based on the case of alleged murderer Luigi Mangione, but the fictional killer is far more sympathetic- which makes me wonder about the morals of the writers - Team Wolf tends to lean very progressive- or if they're cynically milking the issue. The judge's rulings were ludicrously prejudicial (typical NYC activist judge) and ripe for overturning if the verdict was Not Guilty and the prosecution appealed - and it would have to because such a verdict would essentially destroy civilized society.

Seriously, Sam needs to leave the DA's office because she is incapable of disregarding her feelings and opinions to apply the law AS WRITTEN in many cases. This stinks because she reinforces the stereotype of women being too emotional to be trusted to do the job properly.

However, the most offensive- and IMO, careless- action in an episode full of them was the ending.

Entertainment people claim to want to educate people and promote certain viewpoints, but don't want to accept responsibility when people take them.seriously and behave badly in real life. This is a perfect example - like the greedy insurance executives targeted by little guys- someone putting ratings or eyeballs or clicks over potential harm.

This is not only propaganda trash, but the episode is overall terrible written, acted and directed.

They should feel great shame about this

"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence."

I have been watching seasons 8 and 9 as of late. The writing and acting is on point for both the detectives and the lawyers. The writers need to go back and watch these shows to get the feel of it. This show is a shadow of its former self. They need to scrap the lawyers. They are so wrong for this show.
