Me, I am among those who have always wanted both, and I don’t
care who knows it.
18 minutes into the first episode, this season, Linden warns
Holder not to obsess or he’ll wind up like her in a minimum wage job (so how is
she paying for that beautiful house?) as a fire-guard or something on the ferry.
At that point she seems to see the importance of balancing
professional and personal lives.
But within the first two episodes she will have refused to
move to Chicago to have a bigger role in her son’s life, dumped her new boyfriend
(a poor fit, anyway), and jumped back into her 60 hour a week crime-fighter mode.
Holder, meanwhile, partnered with an 8-hours-and-out kind of
guy, has been racking up a string of solved cases and is moving in on the
sergeant’s exam.
And he has a beautiful ADA girlfriend who, in a single ten-second
speech, clues us all in that she wants to have babies and raise kids behind a
white picket fence with him, as soon as possible.
But the 8-hour partner is a time-server and Holder’s
partnership with him is about done by the end of the fourth episode.
Will his prospects with the ADA survive this season’s plunge
into crime-fighter obsession?
Will he make sergeant?
Cop shows and doctor shows always do this and it’s just
nuts.
Even cops and doctors deserve a real life.
