I finally got through this series and came away with the knowledge that personal integrity was not high on the list of features that these six individuals possessed. However, determination, greed, selfishness and an exaggerated sense of self, along with the lack of respect for others is quite prominent in all of these criminals. Also, one or two of them was a nitwit, but so are a lot of people who have attained positions of power, just fool people, tell them what they want to hear and who to blame, it's easy.

From the beginning, due to the narration, I knew is was "tongue in cheek" " satirical" "sarcastic" etc. It was the tone and delivery of the narration that kept me watching, despite getting bored with the Frank Lucas and Whitey Bulger episodes. I didn't know who the narrator was since I rarely look at the credits before a movie or episode of what I'm watching, so once I discovered who it was, I had to Google Peter Dinklage. Now I know that he was in "Game of Thrones," which I didn't watch (not interested) and "The Station Agent" which I'll look up. Finally, I realized he was in "Three Billboards etc..." This entire series struck me as entertainment, not to be taken seriously, just enjoyed it for what it was. What does it matter if it's not completely factual, what movie is these days?

How in the world can anyone believe that a movie that originally starred Patrick Swayze, Sam Elliott and Ben Gazzara can be redone to anyone's satisfaction?

It's supremely lazy and obnoxious. The trend to remake already well established movies is ridiculous. This is only the latest fail, in a long line of remakes. I'll mention two: "A Letter to Three Wives" with Linda Darnell, Ann Southern and Jeanie Crain, was redone horribly with Loni Anderson, and I forget the rest of the cast. How about the brilliant "Born Yesterday"? Judy Holliday gave an Oscar winning performance and the Hollywood bigwigs thought Melanie Griffith could match that performance? There is really no comparison. There are so many more that money was wasted on instead of coming up with original ideas.

I watched NYPD Blue in its entirety when it first aired. I loved it so I purchased the series several years ago and watched it again. This is the third time I've watched it and I still wonder why Greg Medavoy was written as either a 12 year old, or weak and bumbling with inappropriate behavior and rambling on with inconsequential commentary, or as in this episode, a pouty little girl. Through it all he's shown that he is not smart about anything. It's baffling to me. I'd demand another detective if someone like this was assigned to a crime where I was the victim. He does not exude confidence or display comfort.
