A reason for me to continue a long standing tradition of not watching

You should. I quite enjoyed season 1 of the show.

So she's going to be a regular on the show? Concentrating more on
family life and losing out on the case work?

Gotta keep reusing concepts that worked once upon a time in the hopes
they can recapture that lightning.

I'm not sure about that but not for at least a year if it does come
back.

That's possible.

They aren't going to talk about that. We will have to see what happens
in 2025 when there is almost certainly a repeat in the runup to the
vote.

I don't want them to be doomed. I want Eiger and company to change
their ways and concentrate on making good movies/shows that the
viewers want to see and quit worrying so much about DEI. If you want
to test that out then pick a movie/show and put your DEI and marketing
efforts into that show/movie and see if it can draw in new audiences.
If it can't then putting DEI forward as the most important agenda for
any new show or movie seems like a horrible idea.

True. It's just always sad when someone that has brought so much joy
and entertainment to so many passes away.
