I see clips of this show from time to time.

I think I would enjoy it, of it wasn’t blatant copaganda

With some religious propaganda mixed in.

All in all it’s watchable, but fairly generic cop drama.

You would. It’s fairly reasonable yet idealistic, when not a blatant copaganda.

If they’re taking pay cuts time to wrap the show up.

Maybe they should have let the show end, then.

The Golden Globe winner recently noted that the cast took a 25% pay cut in attempt to keep the CBS procedural going past its 14-season run, which lasted from 2010 to 2024, before it was succeeded by the Donnie Wahlberg-led spin-off Boston Blue.

They took a pay cut to try to keep the show going, and it didn’t work.

Kept the crew employed for a while longer, that was kind of them.

It’s more than most of them would be getting if the show ended and they were all cut loose. Even a 25% reduction in salary is still big money compared to what the regular joe and jane working stiffs are making.
