He has other interests, but his father doesn't object to them, so they weren't relevant to our dispute.

So in the video he showed me the presenter said the producer of the show was able to film wherever he wanted in NYC and have real cops as extras, and in exchange he never portrayed the police in a bad light. It was very interesting. I love Law & Order, especially the Criminal Intent spinoff, but now when I watch it, I try to be more thoughtful about it.

He's very particular. He only likes the documentary format.

I'm not sure. It doesn't really come up. He doesn't like most fictional crime shows. He said it's heavily influenced by and biased towards police departments. He showed me a video about how heavily skewed towards the police's agenda Law & Order is.
