Show is starting to hit its stride

Season 3 opens with a new lieutenant, some improved sets and a couple cast changes.

One of the highlights of this episode is at the opening when Richard Belzer as Det Munch has a cautionary soliloquy on the pervasive coming expansive technology and "information superhighway." It would have been really eye opening when originally broadcast in 1994 . And in retrospect is incredibly prescient and all too accurate as in describing a future society that largely comes to be.

This episode centers around the violent death of a young woman who worked at a local women's shelter and was recently cited by the mayor.

This show is just hitting its stride and will come to influence so many new procedural dramas to follow.
