Sampling a new episode from an old, threadbare genre, format, and franchise, albeit with a Canadian twist:

This is from Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent.
If it sounds familiar, it’s identical to the 2000s format made popular by Vincent D’Onofrio, as set in New York. The only difference is D’Onofrio’s methodical, implicitly neurodivergent Goren is named Graff. As the name suggests, this is actually filmed in Toronto. Other than that, watching it amounts to an on-screen self-indulgence along the lines of “I bought a pint of ice cream to eat at home all by myself in one sitting”: bad, but you go through with it anyway.
The above is from an obvious, “ripped from the headlines”-themed episode — namely, that of a coarse, populist mayor who gets caught on video smoking crack. ::makes_shifty_eyes_right_and_left::
Above, the department’s tech specialist is seen walking in with one of those new-fangled Silicon Macs — probably a 13-inch MacBook Air or a 14-inch MacBook Pro. As this was the sole shot with a Mac cameo, this was the best I could do. Gleaning what I could from brief glimpses of the bottom case, this is probably one of the models to make a slight return to the unibody-like form factor following the Touchbar-era thin series. As I don’t pay close attention to the Silicon stuff, the MBA or MBP guess is a crude one.
There are also a couple laptops in the background, very much out of focus, but those could just as easily be from Dell or another make which plants their brand mark on the centre of the lid.
