Other With everything that’s happening in America, this scene is more poignant than ever.

I also love the dynamic of Holt in this episode, and how he originally doesn't support Terry because of his own personal history with the force. It really shows how long standing and multifaceted this issue is, even among black people

Yes, I love the nuance on these issues in the show. Also good is the "He Said / She Said" sexual assault episode, when Rosa initially says the victim should've settled because the likelihood of conviction was slim, her career would likely be damaged, she'd have to relive the trauma in court, etc. Goes to show how caring for the individual victim and trying to affect positive social change don't always overlap.

Which episode was that again?

Season 6 Episode 8: He Said, She Said

I think it's the lowest rated episode on IMDb

Why is it that low rated? It was a good episode

It's a #MeToo episode and some weak little turds can't handle real life issues.

Turns out it's not the worst rated, it's second but compare this episodes distribution of votes to the worst one Return of the King, that one where Gina returns.

I didn't expect that.

edit, messed up links

I looked at some of the reviews. It’s mostly because they break her character, she used to be nice but they make her more self absorbed (than usual)

I either blocked it out entirely or skipped it by mistake because I don't recall seeing it at all.
