It was nice to see old Stabler, but I hoped that this spinoff would be no worse than Criminal Intent and Trial by Jury. But for the first two series, it pulls only 2 out of 5.: formulaic and burdensome. I don't even know if it's worth looking further. It will be strange if they extend it for a second season.
And yes, I did not know that it is so difficult to get your vaccine dose in the USA :|
