1. The first thing I noticed about the episode we watched in class this week was the references to the IRA. At first I was not sure at all what it was, but as the show went on I gathered that it was an Irish terrorist group. The episode was made before middle eastern terrorist were all we heard about, which surprised me. Nowadays, the media would most likely not portray an Irishman as a terrorist.
2. The next thing I noticed was how determined the two law enforcement agencies were to undermine the others. The police officers wanted to solve the murder that the FBI said didn't exist. I would think that the agencies would both want to do what is in the best interest of their own agencies, but not to that extent.
3. The last, and most shocking, thing I noticed, was how the police officers treated the body of the deceased and the criminals all together. If a police officer went around kicking a body and threatening detainees, he or she would be accused of harassment and such and possibly lose his or her job. The public opinion of what police officers can and can't do has changed a whole lot since that episode was filmed.
