Brilliant analysis: * Western = no law and order - vigilante justice - Jack Reacher * Eastern = is law & order but with bad cops gets reformed from within - Serpico * Southern = system is corrupt - reformer is an outsider - John Grisham * Northern = law & order system works - Sherlock Holmes - Law & Order
Daniel Endy well that’s not recognizing that just having a show called law and order implies that law or order actually exists to give the hopeless hope that though there’s no justice for most Americans someone out there got justice. So you poor schmucks can just take personal responsibility for anything and everything and the penalties but someone got through and got justice. Or everyone hopes for one that matches the right criteria we can all cheer to get justice or not. But we can’t apply justice. No one is qualified except special people. Who are absolutely not corrupt and cannot be prosecuted with the same evidence if not more that they have against you. That’s why they have cases that are precedent. Everyone else loses but one case made it. And just because you didn’t have that criteria or did and couldn’t get an attorney someone’s justice is the democracy promise. So keep paying taxes and go to jail or hide in retail jobs to ensure they take the tax before you can ever touch it and they still find fault. It’s the mafia algorithm.
There actually have been Law and Order episodes where the bad guys get away with it. I remember one particularly, where a wife framed her husband for murder. The husband came to that realization in the closing minutes of the episode and nobody, including the protagonists, believed him. The final shot was of the wife smiling evilly as he was found guilty.
That's still the system working for the feminists and elites. The evil man gets his just desserts as the intelligent woman gets her revenge for some imagined crime he allegedly committed to her.
Is that the one where the wife pretended to be paralyzed in a wheelchair and the closing scene was her walking down a snowy Manhattan street? That episode was one of the most chilling.
What was uncomfortable about that whole Carlos Mencia thing watching it was I was half expecting Joe to beat the snot out of him. I would have been fine with that, but Hollywood would have ostracized Joe over it and turned Carlos into the victim.
@@richfarfugnuven6308 it will be one those scientists he interviews that 'try' Joe Rogan, Stephen Hawkings would have challenged him to fight then & there, no way for Rogan to win,
Yeah - episodes with a horrific ending are such a cliche that the Community parody of Law and Order ends with a beloved character unexpectedly getting killed... and that's the COMEDY take on the show! Joe and Malcolm seem to be the kings of pontificating on crap they know next to nothing about.

My high school English teacher told us that Star Wars was a Western, and I’ve never looked at movies the same way since. This is a great working theory.
Star Wars is medieval fantasy. Swords and Sorcery. Knights, Princesses, and even an evil wizard usurping the power of the (galactic) throne. Even if this theory holds water, there are cops everywhere in the form of Stormtroopers. English teacher got it wrong just because it started in a desert, IMO.
It's a space opera, not a western. At least the original six. Some say there is more Star Wars films but I dont recognize them. Watched the dogshit called Force Awakens, not gonna waste my time with any of these disney nonsense Star Wars.

I don't know how I came to recently discover Joe Rogan but I have been capitvated by his interviews which are more like conversations. He is a great listener and that is why he is so successful. Watching this, because I am such a huge Malcolm Gladwell fan, just solidifies my opinion of both. Way to go Joe!
Look back after interviews. It used to be whoever Joe wanted. Now he's on Spotify he's being used to create a narrative with the guests. So lately it's been all farfetched mad theories people. stuff thatd making everyone question everything at all times and fear it all. There was never a running theme He's never had an agenda but this speculative easily debunked nonsense guest's all at once. There trying to fuck his credibility
Yeah in CSI they act like they are super intelligent and that all police have access to the latest technology Oh and randomly hit button on a computer can have amazing results
Been saying this for years. That the cop and lawyer shows are propaganda designed to make the general audience have a good opinion of the justice system. Police are your friends, and we get the bad guys and they always get what they deserve.
I disagree. Most crime shows portray police that are constant violators of even the most basic tenets of constitutional rights. They also convey this false narrative that lead people to think certain things about the legal process. Like this ongoing belief that an arrest is invalid, under all circumstances, unless Miranda is read to the arrestee.
Rob Gallagher you mean the ending where the old man accepts the fact his country has moved on, and he has no place in it? sounds like the ending is a reference to the title.
jz's son For whatever reason, the Coen’s decided to omit the end of the novel. It ends with Chigurh confronting the actual owner of the money. It’s pretty legit.
I like cozy mysteries. The reason I like them is because it's about human nature and solving a puzzle and it's something that's not stressful you can watch during the week. It's like knitting, it doesn't stir up stress and actually is relaxing. Now I'm not sitting there riveted by cozy mysteries unless it's a particularly well written one. I save really good shows or movies for the weekend or when I'm more up for it.
Lol right... certainly not mind blowing when it was literally the FIRST thing I thought after watching this horribly stupid show. Hes right about only women watching too. My boys gf can binge that shit for 4+ hours at a time. I'd rather get repeatedly kicked in the balls than watch that dog shit. EDIT: 'Mainly' women watching I sit corrected - my boy admits he watches w/ her sometimes. My mountain of respect for him just got blasted by an asteroid lol
Unpopular opinion : Amy Schumer really isn't that bad. I watched that last special of hers where she's pregnant and she talks about her autistic husband and I was trying not to like her but she was actually pretty funny
I love Malcom Gladwell! His books are life-changing. It’s all about recognizing the patterns all around us and changing our perceptions. They’ve helped me tremendously.
I’ve read two of his books. They are kind of useless other than being entertaining because he explores what is behind the behaviors of the masses. Doesn’t change anything. The masses still behave the way they will. Tipping point gives explanation to the obvious but gives no insight on controlling it or changing it. He simply explains it with examples. It’s good reading. But it’s nothing more than entertainment. His hook is “see what secrets I’ve researched and how they open your mind.”. The reality is, if I’d never have read the books, I would know less about stuff that doesn’t matter anyway.
I just have to say, it's been interesting to me to watch Joe kind of mature over the years. You don't realize how much he's changed unless you go back & watch some of the older stuff. I appreciate that he keeps an open mind and is very self-aware.
Sidenote: i can remember the episode name or season for anything, but there was a later season, where one of the prosecutors was caught exchanging child prn. He was one of the regular prosecutors too. It was crazy.
@paula Yes I know what he meant and I also know he watches the show. How could he have a detailed theory as to why people watch it? I am sure he comes home some times and wants to see something mindless and it is on and he watches it. Shows I don't watch I may have heard the name but that is about it.
I gotta comment on Joes first conversation point about getting good at not caring about things he doesn't like. That was actually therapeutic listening to, right now for me. Currently living with some major depression and before that I was a bitter and angry individual so maybe theres some hope for me there
Funny but thats how i am about things I don’t like, it came naturally, but it made sense to just let that crap go cuz its like carrying poison around in yer system, that stuff just can’t be tolerated by a logical mind. I couldn’t let silly non issue issues eat me up anymore, so i let it flow & let it go. But to hear him put it in his own words kinda like with you? It validates our coping mechanism.? & he’s right! I really don’t hate, i just don’t concern myself with stuff i don’t like, kinda like… live & let live.
A Button Athlete So that means he doesn’t like the themes of Law and Order, and he does like the themes in Grisham novels. And then he explains what those themes are
Jay Berkovitz idk what you’re talking bout. I’m just saying there’s way more comedians using the same jokes with different delivery than Amy. It has become popular to rip on her. I
Future house cleaner Neo westerns tend to be crime dramas in a western setting. Like Hell or Highwater. It might not be by Gladwell’s definition but I consider it one
British might like Northerns. Until it comes to Ian Rankin. Rebus is definitely of the Eastern variety: system is corrupt and Rebus is an insider working to be righteous despite it, but not necessarily affecting change. Read Ian Rankin. He's great. And so is Rebus. Another one is Ken Bruen's disgraced Guarda officer, Jack Taylor. Rebus is Scottish and Taylor is Irish. Lee Child is British. Maybe that accounts for his rebellion against the Northern device. Hmmm.
Padraig O'Hagan he knows he can’t just call out people. And that’s rude. Like I don’t like Tom papa or Jim Gaffigan, but I don’t like jokes about fast food. They aren’t better or worse than people that talk about poop or sex all day.
I’ve watched enough law and order svu to know that it doesn’t always end well. Sometimes the ending has me hoping that there’s a sequel to that episode that fixes the ending of the episode that I just watched
I don't know if you ever have read any of them but even if your someone who doesn't usually read books, the "Jack Reacher" novels are great. The story will suck you in right at the beginning and keep you wanting to read.
Gladwell is using this theory for just law and order type films and crime shows. It doesn't hold up to everything else. However, I think the Hero's Journey is everywhere including rom coms and tv commercials. Look how popular The Mandalorian is and that's just the Hero's Journey *again*. People eat it up.
@@TalonInTx yes, I agree. And yes thx for re addressing his point. I think an example of the variant forms of western would be that film equilibrium. The society tries to make a perfect society by suppressing emotion; but ultimately good intentions become coerced. Leaving a hero that's the opposite of a drifter but shares in wanting to right wrongs.
BTW I thought it was an apocalypse... so he WAS a cop like Jack Reacher WAS a military man or whatever... idk I haven’t seen either so that’s just my outside interpretation
That's what I commented, too!! Earliest seasons were the best because they weren't aiming for the biggest ratings & ad $$$. They were drier, slower, more interesting & seemed more true to life than later seasons.
Yeah it would be interesting to see where Law & Order would fit on Gladwell's thematic compass if he watched enough to actually evaluate it. There's no systemic corruption shown per se. But it's a system which when it works, only works by the skin of its teeth through a lot of hard work. And it frequently doesn't work at all, despite a lot of hard work. I mean the only real "corruption to the system" would be the recognition of rights for the accused which are often working to prevent the heroes from prosecuting a crime. It's an adversarial system by design.
I couldn’t agree more. For a show with over 25 seasons he sounds like he caught a episode. I’m a male and I love that shit. Don’t know what law n order he watching
As a LIFE LONG viewer of L&O SVU and the original, I can factually say he is completely INCORRECT about the show. There are numerous episodes that end on a sad note. No happy ending. And many where the killer gets away with murder.
When I was younger I remember watching Law & Order, except to Gladwell's point, my mother was always watching with me, I never remembered a time where Criminals minds, NCIS, CSI: Miami was on tv and my mothers wasn't in the same room as me watching it lmao. The "justice always prevails" narrative is 100% definitely driven towards the female demographic as fantasised comfort.
A great addon to that is how much women, especially my wife, HATE 'First 48'...don't have to watch many episodes to be reminded the fact that only about 40% of murders ever result in a conviction... she will literally leave the room if I am watching that show.
All those other shows were trash but law and order in the 90s was good. And Malcolm gladwell obviously never watch the show because there's plenty of episodes where the killer gets off just some technicality. Kind of a clueless to pontificate on a show he never actually watched
I love that Jack Reacher was mentioned at the end - my favorite fiction series of all time. The latest Amazon Prime series Reacher was fantastic, one of the finest renderings of a novel into a video medium that I've ever experienced. My dream is for Reacher to evolve into a long-running series with each book as a mini-season. They can film a bunch at once and release a couple times a year. I also heard Reacher described as a Noir - anyone recognize whether that conflicts with being a Western?
@@bigoshify Tom Cruise was not at all true to the books and was a disappointment to the devoted series readers. In the Amazon series Reacher is played by Alan Ritchson is a much better fit
@@kevinrenn9123 I didn't know it was a series before I saw the movie so I was going into it as just another Tom Cruise action movie so I had no expectations. I'm going to check out that series tho..
@@bigoshify You won't be disappointed. The Amazon show is based on the first book in the series so not a bad place to start and it does stay pretty true to the book. The Tom Cruise movies are the 9th and 18th books so if you read them in order, it will be a while till you get to the movies you saw

I always thought that . Women seem so fascinated by murder/crime , drama . I never understood the connection. I don’t glorify it . Fictionally I like action/ adventure and violence but realistically I avoid the realism of these murder type shows they feel too negative vibed . Why women are so magnetized towards murderers I’ll never understand
04:58 "The show Law & Order ... is a functioning apparatus of justice which reliably and accurately produces ummm... the correct result in confronting criminality every single day" Gladwell picked the wrong crime show as an example here. Law & Order is one of the few crime shows where sometimes the bad guy got away with his crime. And the show explained why that happened. That show doesn't produce "the correct result in confronting criminality every single day". The police fail. Then the prosecutors fail. The police didn't have a search warrant, the warrant was for another location, the police got permission to enter the premises from the wrong guy etc. Law & Order was one of the better crime shows. The good guys didn't always win. Sometimes they lost. Because of a legal technicality. (The warrant was for storage space #42, but the police entered storage space #2 on row 4 etc)
If this is less than 10% of the total historical canon of shows for LAO then it’s kind of your fault for taking his terminology literally. Most people of sound mind can tell when something exaggerated is exaggerated. If the show has between 20 and 30% of these outcomes then you tow the line of being right to call him out. If the show is 50/50 or more then you we’ll in your right to criticize the now understood misinformation he based his own interpretation on. Also, I’m sure you know a lot more about the shows than he does since he probably is too smart to be watching that stuff consistently so maybe you are right and you know a ton more about this show than he does. Wouldn’t call it a bragging position to be in considering we are talking about subjective classification of fictional tv shows and not the percentage accuracy of one’s recollection of a specific fictional tv show in relation to his own created subjective categories. Basically I think you missed the whole point of his thought experiment that he was sharing that you never would think of in your life and should be glad someone gave you a lens to watch new fictional dramas through and to better question what you are watching and why and how it is relevant in your life and why you dedicate precious time resources to watch this stuff when it is time you will never get back.
@@zncvmxbv4027 You thought he made some amazing observation? It's called a "shower thought," lol. Also, watching TV doesn't mean a person is any less intelligent. You went off typing out a book to some rando, insulting him about wasting time. Yet you don't even see the irony, lol.
@@harageilucid4352 I get why Lawyers never speak ill of other Lawyers and Doctors never speak ill of other Doctors, but why the hell couldn't a comic who spends entire episodes talking about how some eat shit and just can't cut it say 'I just don't get their style' or 'I'm just not their audience' or something. Don't have to rag on them, just be honest...doesn't do Joe much favor on his own show to be evasive with his audience.
It's annoying. He can't just be honest anymore. He always has to put some kind of spin on his answers now, to make sure he doesn't upset anyone. It's hard to watch sometimes
My ex used to watch SVU all the time. I never got the appeal. And it definitely appeals to a female audience. From my perspective it fetishizes victimhood.
Also adore law and order and am a guy. Shit really doesn’t always work out in that show, you always gotta expect some kind of twist. The cheesiness adds to the show for me lol
*Gonk-Gonk* Open On: (Guy unloading crates) Guy Unloading Crates: "Oh her? Yeah, I remember her. She always seemed so quiet... came in with this guy wearing a pinky ring -- saw he had a money clip filled with 10's and 20's mostly... first time I ever saw her, but she looked stressed out, like she had a secret she didn't want exposed. He reminded me of Hitler... seemed like a real jerk... her hair was up in a bun like she'd been doing some sort of labor... maybe she was moving from one apartment to another... I dunno. Seemed like a nice lady, but like I said, I only saw her for 30 seconds. One more thing; she was wearing a black and white cardigan with boxes and the boxes had white checks in them... she leaned over for a split second and I could see the tag near her neck said J. Crew... got the feeling she was abused as a child... wish I could help you more, Officer... did something happen to her?" *Gonk-Gonk*
Have to disagree. I worked extensively on Law & Order, and for all its faults, it doesn't portray the legal apparatus as virtuous and correct in every episode. The investigators are depicted as vindictive and overly aggressive, forge cases around the most absurd or flimsy evidence and often working hard to bring charges against innocent people. The DA's office staff do lose cases, have to deal with the poor evidence given to them by the investigators, and are frequently confronted with morally ambiguous scenarios in which they make judgment calls that they have internal ethical issues with. Of course, other times, the show is just the steamy heap of dog do Malcolm is depicting here.
I'm a male, and I used to watch them all on TV in the 90's and 2000's. I think they were popular because before Law & Order, all we got was a steady diet of cop drama shows. I'd say those are more for females, as they are essentially soap operas with cops as the "flawed" protagonists. Law & Order brought a sense of logic and reason that appeals better to the male mind, IMO. Less "drama" and more "here's the steps we took to catch the perp, and the steps we took to lock him up". Of course there was a bit of drama, but it was not overly absurd. I mean we barely know Briscoe outside of his job, and Rey had marital problems, and that was pretty much it. And McCoy? All I know about him is that he's a determined prosecutor who really REALLY wants to nail the crooks. Of course, after a decade of the same, it was getting boring, so in comes CSI to save the day, which it's fresh "we are L&O but with "science!" and really quick zoomed in shots of the trauma wounds, or whatever it happened to be.
This guy clearly hasn’t watched Law and Order. The show regularly operates in shades of gray. Whether it’s the cops using questionably moral methods of finding their suspect or evidence or the DA using legal loop holes to help prosecute criminals. And then sometimes the criminal isn’t necessarily a bad guy just did a bad thing. I can’t speak for SVU or any other versions but the original Law and Order is a great effing show.
SVU used to do that with Benson & Stabler. Always operating in varying shades of gray, pushing the limits of what they are supposed to be legally doing. It’s still kinda like that, but Benson is a bit of a superhero now & her damn son is in the show too much for a 4 year old. The other detectives personal problems are realistic to a degree, but ridiculous as well.
All police shows in general are propoganda to make normal american try and explain themselves to the police without a lawyer present. That the only way most cases have a shot in court.
@@jer.z.3691 naw man....if anything I've learned to shut up and only say one word : lawyer. Joe is right, people like to see the "bad" guy get his, even if once in a while the "bad" guy is the cop, D.A, etc.
@@xXSPADEGG I don't care what Malcolm Gladstone thinks about anything. He never says anything important and all of his seemingly clever anecdotes crumble under any degree of scrutiny. Gladstone is pseudo-intellectualism personified.
It's easy to do that when you make assumptions about what you see. Gladwell's assumptions about Westerns, Law & Order, and even Jack Reacher are all entirely wrong. It's like he's finding patterns without any actual knowledge or research to base those patterns on.
Those first few seasons of L&O had some downers...rapists getting acquitted, an Old Country-like story about Colombian drug dealers which the cops were totally unprepared for.
There is this french romcom 'L'amour dure trois ans' that literally ends with our lovers finally getting together on a beach and being killed off by a random tsunami. Had to think about that while listening.
@@Charmer4856 meh it's about FBI profilers. Serial killers get away, the investigators are flawed and in constant danger, the system is corrupt from within and without, seems like this guy would love it.
Correct. And the police make mistakes, the DA messes up, the courts don't work, etc. Everything he said about Law and Order seems like something he decided after watching one or two episodes - if that.
The first two minutes of this were some of the most enlightened insights I've heard...well, today. Letting go is so fundamental to our own freedom, in every conceivable way, and my ego keeps finding ways to keep me trapped here. 🕊
Who seeks for enlightenment, if not the ego? Letting go includes letting the ego try to find something it cannot grasp, chasing a disguised promise of absolute emboldenment. It wants to say 'I'm enlightened', just to be above everyone else, better than anyone else. In the end, when it fails on such quest (obviously), the ego has already fallen into a mortal trap. Then, you can finally realize you're simply something happening, as the sun, the rain, or any other phenomena. The ego can only die if it believes it can live forever (through enlightenment). You can only live forever by experiencing that there is no more 'you' claiming to be responsible for your actions and decisions, or to be trapped anywhere, since you can only be everything, everywhere.
I've only watched Special Victims Unit and maybe it's just my memory, but plenty of episodes end up feeling like justice wasn't really served and the situation is just fucked up. The shows they're talking about are more like those CSI things.
Law and order did have a few with the bad guy getting away and never getting in trouble buy most of them justice was served...prolly just the ones u remember
@@FLdancer00 Even the original Law & Order has this stuff happening. Remember: The show takes on current events, just changing the particulars. Since, in real life, things don't always work out (corrupt cops, court mistakes, bad DA, etc), you often see L&O cases not working out.
@@johncrafton8319 Yes, that's what I'm saying, the bad does get away sometimes on that show. And Law&Order is Law&Order. Everything else is a spin-off. SVU, CI, LA, etc.
Yeah, I remember a particular SVU episode that was about Detective Stablers daughter being bipolar. He tries to abuse his power to get her out of legal trouble and gets checked, you find out his moms bipolar and how she raised him screwed him up, she refuses to appear before a court and explain her condition to help her granddaughters case because then she'd have to admit she wasn't well. Benson guilt trips grandma into doing it anyway, but 90 percent of that episode was waaay off the beaten path
Total theory but it could be the fact that women are more scared of being victimized and can be powerless in those types of situations so it’s sort of an instinctual self preservation thing? I don’t know though
Some women frankly like to play the victim card and seeing women victimized on these shows allows them to justify in their minds that all men are villains. I personally can’t stand these shows it’s disempowering and promotes fear, social avoidance and negative stereotypes of men. Actual violent attacks on women by strangers are extremely rare.
@@lamboman7 Why it would be self preservation if the victims are dead? I think that if women like law & order, which I have no idea if they do, they would like it because the wife killer gets his punishment or something like that
Because it satisfies the dark fantasies many women have involving, submission, violence, and saviors. Why does the victim have her cleavage showing when she's in the exam room after having a rape kit done? Why are the male actors dominant, forceful types with a little salt and pepper up top? Why are the perpetrators very rarely women?
love the Reacher books, enjoyed the tom cruise movie renditions even though he's the furthest thing physically from Reacher. The new series is entertaining, didn't think I'd enjoy it but the plot was well done for simple summer streaming entertainment
Tom Cruise nailed Reacher's character. He never came across as cocky, just stating the facts, and the fact is, Reacher's a badass. Thad's got the size right, but he came across as cocky as fuck, and that's the farthest thing from Reacher. The dude might ham up some bravado if he thinks there's a strategic advantage, but he's constantly second guessing and calling himself a dumbass despite the fact he's a fucking genius. Reacher just has really high standards for himself. And Reacher doesn't translate well to the screen. The best part of the story is his fish out of water internal monologue. Without that, it's just another cliche mash-up.
@@guyincognito8440 YES, totally got Texas Ranger vibes from the show hahaha. The 1st reacher movie with Cruise is a modern classic I think. the cast and direction are so good
I do remember really early law and order when it was actually an interesting show and some of the people who were prosecuted and were guilty went free because either the police made a mistake or the defense missed something. We’re talking like season 1 and 2 original law and order. There was a time when that show did have some heart but that disappeared quickly.
This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.

So you poor schmucks can just take personal responsibility for anything and everything and the penalties but someone got through and got justice. Or everyone hopes for one that matches the right criteria we can all cheer to get justice or not. But we can’t apply justice. No one is qualified except special people. Who are absolutely not corrupt and cannot be prosecuted with the same evidence if not more that they have against you. That’s why they have cases that are precedent. Everyone else loses but one case made it. And just because you didn’t have that criteria or did and couldn’t get an attorney someone’s justice is the democracy promise. So keep paying taxes and go to jail or hide in retail jobs to ensure they take the tax before you can ever touch it and they still find fault. It’s the mafia algorithm.
All told from the Hollywood perspective.
Did he make this up or are these universal definitions?
chris2423 He clearly came up with this analysis on his own. He’s very perceptive.
Daniel Endy 👍 thanks.
There actually have been Law and Order episodes where the bad guys get away with it. I remember one particularly, where a wife framed her husband for murder. The husband came to that realization in the closing minutes of the episode and nobody, including the protagonists, believed him. The final shot was of the wife smiling evilly as he was found guilty.
That's a bad girl not a bad guy
That's still the system working for the feminists and elites. The evil man gets his just desserts as the intelligent woman gets her revenge for some imagined crime he allegedly committed to her.
That supports Malcom's theory that Law and Order is made for women. This is one type of female power fantasy.
Is that the one where the wife pretended to be paralyzed in a wheelchair and the closing scene was her walking down a snowy Manhattan street? That episode was one of the most chilling.
Great show.

My high school English teacher told us that Star Wars was a Western, and I’ve never looked at movies the same way since. This is a great working theory.
Star Wars is medieval fantasy.
Swords and Sorcery. Knights, Princesses, and even an evil wizard usurping the power of the (galactic) throne.
Even if this theory holds water, there are cops everywhere in the form of Stormtroopers.
English teacher got it wrong just because it started in a desert, IMO.
Which trilogy was she referring to because i feel that makes a huge difference
It's a space opera, not a western. At least the original six. Some say there is more Star Wars films but I dont recognize them. Watched the dogshit called Force Awakens, not gonna waste my time with any of these disney nonsense Star Wars.

The thing that is "mind blowing" about crime shows is that they exist to create a good public perception of prosecutors and police.
And like Howard Beale says in the movie Network by the end of the hour the "good"guy is going to win.
Yeah in CSI they act like they are super intelligent and that all police have access to the latest technology
Oh and randomly hit button on a computer can have amazing results
Also they create the perception that you're a "bad guy" if you hire a lawyer or exercise your rights.
Been saying this for years. That the cop and lawyer shows are propaganda designed to make the general audience have a good opinion of the justice system. Police are your friends, and we get the bad guys and they always get what they deserve.
I disagree. Most crime shows portray police that are constant violators of even the most basic tenets of constitutional rights. They also convey this false narrative that lead people to think certain things about the legal process. Like this ongoing belief that an arrest is invalid, under all circumstances, unless Miranda is read to the arrestee.
No Country for Old Men is a BANGER! I can watch that movie over n over!
Ya, but the end f'ing sucks
Rob Gallagher
you mean the ending where the old man accepts the fact his country has moved on, and he has no place in it? sounds like the ending is a reference to the title.

I love Malcom Gladwell! His books are life-changing. It’s all about recognizing the patterns all around us and changing our perceptions. They’ve helped me tremendously.
How?
I’ve read two of his books. They are kind of useless other than being entertaining because he explores what is behind the behaviors of the masses. Doesn’t change anything. The masses still behave the way they will. Tipping point gives explanation to the obvious but gives no insight on controlling it or changing it. He simply explains it with examples. It’s good reading. But it’s nothing more than entertainment. His hook is “see what secrets I’ve researched and how they open your mind.”.
The reality is, if I’d never have read the books, I would know less about stuff that doesn’t matter anyway.

It was crazy.
Gladwell's love for Jack Reacher novels just made my day.
Not all of the JR novels are western (e.g., The Enemy), though most are.

“Is there a modern version of the western?” just minutes after Joe mentioned No Country For Old Men
Future house cleaner Neo westerns tend to be crime dramas in a western setting. Like Hell or Highwater. It might not be by Gladwell’s definition but I consider it one
Roadhouse is a modern western.
Logan jumps to mind. Also Doctor Sleep, which just came out last week. Cops aren't called in either, if you're going by Gladwell's definition.
British might like Northerns. Until it comes to Ian Rankin. Rebus is definitely of the Eastern variety: system is corrupt and Rebus is an insider working to be righteous despite it, but not necessarily affecting change. Read Ian Rankin. He's great. And so is Rebus. Another one is Ken Bruen's disgraced Guarda officer, Jack Taylor. Rebus is Scottish and Taylor is Irish. Lee Child is British. Maybe that accounts for his rebellion against the Northern device. Hmmm.
This guy is a self-important twit.

I love how it ended. "He just murders everyone and hops on a train to the next place "
Then he says " I love it."
I don't know if you ever have read any of them but even if your someone who doesn't usually read books, the "Jack Reacher" novels are great. The story will suck you in right at the beginning and keep you wanting to read.
His description of the novels is mostly accurate, except that Reacher usually rides the bus.
This guests western, northern, eastern, and southern philosophy are neat.
Very neat! I knew about westerns but not the others....I'll never forget it. Every movie I ever see from now on will be subject to.this analysis.
This philosophy reminded me of the “hero’s journey” philosophy that all fantasy novels/series follow. Very interesting and seemingly very true.
@@lucienwmoon yes, totally. Also you have the world building aspects like dungeons and dragons. Joseph cambell is the heros journey writer.
Gladwell is using this theory for just law and order type films and crime shows. It doesn't hold up to everything else. However, I think the Hero's Journey is everywhere including rom coms and tv commercials. Look how popular The Mandalorian is and that's just the Hero's Journey *again*. People eat it up.
@@TalonInTx yes, I agree. And yes thx for re addressing his point. I think an example of the variant forms of western would be that film equilibrium. The society tries to make a perfect society by suppressing emotion; but ultimately good intentions become coerced. Leaving a hero that's the opposite of a drifter but shares in wanting to right wrongs.

Great theory on Reacher being a modern day Western. Love the books and the 1st series did a great job of bringing a fine debut novel to life.
I’ve seen plenty of Law and Order episodes where the endings were far from happy and actually showed how the system fails at times.
Law & Order occasionally ends in an unexpected way. It's great when it does.
Also the first couple of seasons were probably the best.
I’d say more than occasionally.
Agreed. Jerry Orbach was the all time best detective on that show.
But you don't deny being a woman
As a straight male, Jerry Orbach L&O is some of my favorite television ever.
That's what I commented, too!!
Earliest seasons were the best because they weren't aiming for the biggest ratings & ad $$$.
They were drier, slower, more interesting & seemed more true to life than later seasons.
It occurred to me that Mr. Gladwell really doesn't watch Law and Order bc the bad guys frequently get off
Yeah it would be interesting to see where Law & Order would fit on Gladwell's thematic compass if he watched enough to actually evaluate it. There's no systemic corruption shown per se. But it's a system which when it works, only works by the skin of its teeth through a lot of hard work. And it frequently doesn't work at all, despite a lot of hard work. I mean the only real "corruption to the system" would be the recognition of rights for the accused which are often working to prevent the heroes from prosecuting a crime. It's an adversarial system by design.
I couldn’t agree more. For a show with over 25 seasons he sounds like he caught a episode. I’m a male and I love that shit. Don’t know what law n order he watching
As a LIFE LONG viewer of L&O SVU and the original, I can factually say he is completely INCORRECT about the show. There are numerous episodes that end on a sad note. No happy ending. And many where the killer gets away with murder.
Do you think that now a days where it's all about Benson that the show is getting harder to watch?

The "justice always prevails" narrative is 100% definitely driven towards the female demographic as fantasised comfort.

"The show Law & Order ... is a functioning apparatus of justice which reliably and accurately produces ummm... the correct result in confronting criminality every single day"
Gladwell picked the wrong crime show as an example here. Law & Order is one of the few crime shows where sometimes the bad guy got away with his crime. And the show explained why that happened. That show doesn't produce "the correct result in confronting criminality every single day". The police fail. Then the prosecutors fail. The police didn't have a search warrant, the warrant was for another location, the police got permission to enter the premises from the wrong guy etc.
Law & Order was one of the better crime shows. The good guys didn't always win. Sometimes they lost. Because of a legal technicality. (The warrant was for storage space #42, but the police entered storage space #2 on row 4 etc)
If this is less than 10% of the total historical canon of shows for LAO then it’s kind of your fault for taking his terminology literally. Most people of sound mind can tell when something exaggerated is exaggerated. If the show has between 20 and 30% of these outcomes then you tow the line of being right to call him out. If the show is 50/50 or more then you we’ll in your right to criticize the now understood misinformation he based his own interpretation on. Also, I’m sure you know a lot more about the shows than he does since he probably is too smart to be watching that stuff consistently so maybe you are right and you know a ton more about this show than he does. Wouldn’t call it a bragging position to be in considering we are talking about subjective classification of fictional tv shows and not the percentage accuracy of one’s recollection of a specific fictional tv show in relation to his own created subjective categories.
Basically I think you missed the whole point of his thought experiment that he was sharing that you never would think of in your life and should be glad someone gave you a lens to watch new fictional dramas through and to better question what you are watching and why and how it is relevant in your life and why you dedicate precious time resources to watch this stuff when it is time you will never get back.

Justin Cormier “Jamie, shine me up!” *leans forward*
I love the twists, turns and surprise endings of Law & Order.
Love law and order and am definitely a guy... who doesn’t like seeing rapists get beat down by Stabler?
My ex used to watch SVU all the time. I never got the appeal. And it definitely appeals to a female audience. From my perspective it fetishizes victimhood.
Also adore law and order and am a guy. Shit really doesn’t always work out in that show, you always gotta expect some kind of twist. The cheesiness adds to the show for me lol
*Gonk-Gonk* Open On: (Guy unloading crates) Guy Unloading Crates: "Oh her? Yeah, I remember her. She always seemed so quiet... came in with this guy wearing a pinky ring -- saw he had a money clip filled with 10's and 20's mostly... first time I ever saw her, but she looked stressed out, like she had a secret she didn't want exposed. He reminded me of Hitler... seemed like a real jerk... her hair was up in a bun like she'd been doing some sort of labor... maybe she was moving from one apartment to another... I dunno. Seemed like a nice lady, but like I said, I only saw her for 30 seconds. One more thing; she was wearing a black and white cardigan with boxes and the boxes had white checks in them... she leaned over for a split second and I could see the tag near her neck said J. Crew... got the feeling she was abused as a child... wish I could help you more, Officer... did something happen to her?" *Gonk-Gonk*
frase32 what do u mean by fetishizes victimhood?
I stopped watching once they axed Stabler. It seems like it was always left leaning but after he was gone went full PC.
“Justified” was a modern Western, yeah? Sure, he was a US Marshal, but he had his own set of laws.
Great show.
Fucking great show!
Terrible show lol not one main character died throughout its entire run
I miss justified💔
No
Have to disagree. I worked extensively on Law & Order, and for all its faults, it doesn't portray the legal apparatus as virtuous and correct in every episode. The investigators are depicted as vindictive and overly aggressive, forge cases around the most absurd or flimsy evidence and often working hard to bring charges against innocent people. The DA's office staff do lose cases, have to deal with the poor evidence given to them by the investigators, and are frequently confronted with morally ambiguous scenarios in which they make judgment calls that they have internal ethical issues with.
Of course, other times, the show is just the steamy heap of dog do Malcolm is depicting here.
I'm a male, and I used to watch them all on TV in the 90's and 2000's. I think they were popular because before Law & Order, all we got was a steady diet of cop drama shows. I'd say those are more for females, as they are essentially soap operas with cops as the "flawed" protagonists. Law & Order brought a sense of logic and reason that appeals better to the male mind, IMO. Less "drama" and more "here's the steps we took to catch the perp, and the steps we took to lock him up". Of course there was a bit of drama, but it was not overly absurd. I mean we barely know Briscoe outside of his job, and Rey had marital problems, and that was pretty much it. And McCoy? All I know about him is that he's a determined prosecutor who really REALLY wants to nail the crooks.
Of course, after a decade of the same, it was getting boring, so in comes CSI to save the day, which it's fresh "we are L&O but with "science!" and really quick zoomed in shots of the trauma wounds, or whatever it happened to be.
I love those friends with the inordinately complicated theories for everything
There is at least one episode from one of the my different “Law and Order” series playing every hour, every single day of the year.
I know. I watched it obsessively when I was depressed. It doesn't tax the brain.
This guy clearly hasn’t watched Law and Order. The show regularly operates in shades of gray. Whether it’s the cops using questionably moral methods of finding their suspect or evidence or the DA using legal loop holes to help prosecute criminals. And then sometimes the criminal isn’t necessarily a bad guy just did a bad thing. I can’t speak for SVU or any other versions but the original Law and Order is a great effing show.
SVU used to do that with Benson & Stabler. Always operating in varying shades of gray, pushing the limits of what they are supposed to be legally doing.
It’s still kinda like that, but Benson is a bit of a superhero now & her damn son is in the show too much for a 4 year old. The other detectives personal problems are realistic to a degree, but ridiculous as well.
I have also seen a couple of episodes where the antagonist comes out on top. His take is pretty shitty imo
All police shows in general are propoganda to make normal american try and explain themselves to the police without a lawyer present. That the only way most cases have a shot in court.
@@jer.z.3691 naw man....if anything I've learned to shut up and only say one word : lawyer.
Joe is right, people like to see the "bad" guy get his, even if once in a while the "bad" guy is the cop, D.A, etc.
@@properplank6729 same with his Westerns take. A good amount of them have a sheriff or deputy in them.
,,Hot Fuzz" is a good example of a southern.
domagoj bobaš oh yes.
Hot Fuzz would definitively be a Western in Gladwell's silly categorization system.
mitchtherevolution Hot Fuzz is literally what he described a southern being
@@xXSPADEGG I don't care what Malcolm Gladstone thinks about anything.
He never says anything important and all of his seemingly clever anecdotes crumble under any degree of scrutiny.
Gladstone is pseudo-intellectualism personified.
@@mitchtherevolution Ay man chill out
Law and order used to have the bad guys win during the first couple seasons. That was the best. Never knew what was going to happen
I love how brilliant minds uncover simple patterns in this chaotic world.
Psychedelics do the same thing....
Whole systems
It's easy to do that when you make assumptions about what you see. Gladwell's assumptions about Westerns, Law & Order, and even Jack Reacher are all entirely wrong. It's like he's finding patterns without any actual knowledge or research to base those patterns on.
It's not about finding patterns, it's about connecting pieces of information that aren't actually related. Humans are most easily fooled by themselves
Nothing brilliant about condescending large groups of ordinary people
Man, I have never heard the N,S, E, W explanation. I love learning new info❤
Those first few seasons of L&O had some downers...rapists getting acquitted, an Old Country-like story about Colombian drug dealers which the cops were totally unprepared for.
There is this french romcom 'L'amour dure trois ans' that literally ends with our lovers finally getting together on a beach and being killed off by a random tsunami. Had to think about that while listening.
K. B. On the other hand, True Romance ended quite sappy
I’m just happy Skeletor is still getting work
Brilliant 🤣
Like a head on a stick
This guy just invented "criminal minds " now he just needs a time machine.
I think you just have to close your eyes, click your heels together, and keep saying "unsub."
A Closer Look 23 thumbs up LIAR, CHEAT, FANTASY
Is that a good show?
@@Charmer4856 meh it's about FBI profilers. Serial killers get away, the investigators are flawed and in constant danger, the system is corrupt from within and without, seems like this guy would love it.
MG has a field day with CBT...cognitive behavioral therapy, which has its foundation in the criminal wiring of the mind...
“Name a modern western?”
Me screaming John wick at my phone…
This guy has never watched law and order. The bad guy gets off and justice is subverted all the time.
Yeah Law And Order SVU ends with a gutpunch about 25% of the time.
Shut up. Men don't watch law and order.
His territorial theory is so good. My cousin vinnies perfect example of the southern aspect.
Law & Order has done the sorts of things gladwell is taking about. The bad guys sometimes get away with it.
Not NEARLY enough to present a realistic depiction of the current state of the Criminal Justice System.
Only until part two
Michael James It's not reality. It's network television, which is largely aspirational. A Billy Campbel episode of SVU, in particular, comes to mind.
...& there was no part two, which is what made it so devastating.
Insightful -- And he's dead on about the Reacher series. Very satisfying resolutions in those stories.
This reminds me of those old Law and Order eps where the whole episode was morally grey and it ended right before the verdict was delivered.
Joe “I like all comedians” Rogan
Tbh he has too because his is actually the least funny
“I hate PC culture but I’m political about every personal question I answer”
-Toe Rogan
Tom cruise likes all movies
Joe "Couldn't just answer 'Amy Shumer' " Rogan
Haha he knows with his reach he could ruin anybody’s career...there’s nothing else he can say there
How did I miss the idea of the Reacher books being westerns? Its so perfect......
I'm not sure he's ever seen more than one episode of law and order. Many times the criminal gets away. Great show.
I had the same thought. I feel like the show frequently ends in chaos and there are many crooked cops+prosecuters.
The bad guy doesnt always get caught in L&O.
Correct. And the police make mistakes, the DA messes up, the courts don't work, etc. Everything he said about Law and Order seems like something he decided after watching one or two episodes - if that.
Yeah, I feel like this guy hasn't actually watched Law & Order.
9.9/10 times
Most law and order episodes have resolutions that are both not black and white but also quite thought provocating. He’s probably has never watched L&O
The first two minutes of this were some of the most enlightened insights I've heard...well, today. Letting go is so fundamental to our own freedom, in every conceivable way, and my ego keeps finding ways to keep me trapped here. 🕊
Who seeks for enlightenment, if not the ego? Letting go includes letting the ego try to find something it cannot grasp, chasing a disguised promise of absolute emboldenment. It wants to say 'I'm enlightened', just to be above everyone else, better than anyone else. In the end, when it fails on such quest (obviously), the ego has already fallen into a mortal trap. Then, you can finally realize you're simply something happening, as the sun, the rain, or any other phenomena. The ego can only die if it believes it can live forever (through enlightenment). You can only live forever by experiencing that there is no more 'you' claiming to be responsible for your actions and decisions, or to be trapped anywhere, since you can only be everything, everywhere.
He’s wrong about the way he described law & order everything else he’s spot on
WOW! Never new how crime stories were classified like that!! amazing!!
There are PLENTY of L&O episodes that end with a WTF moment.
Ash Williams Serena coming out as lesbian for sure
Esp criminal intent. I love that show
@@trinityproj3ct What? LOL Oh yeah, she sure did didn't she.
trinityproj3ct But she only did it in the last 2 minutes of the season finale of her last episode!
Ash Williams not enough
I've only watched Special Victims Unit and maybe it's just my memory, but plenty of episodes end up feeling like justice wasn't really served and the situation is just fucked up.
The shows they're talking about are more like those CSI things.
Law and order did have a few with the bad guy getting away and never getting in trouble buy most of them justice was served...prolly just the ones u remember
Ugh!
He's talking about LAW & ORDER! Not SVU. The original is a crime show.
The spinoff is a sex show with emphasis on character stories.
@@FLdancer00 Even the original Law & Order has this stuff happening. Remember: The show takes on current events, just changing the particulars. Since, in real life, things don't always work out (corrupt cops, court mistakes, bad DA, etc), you often see L&O cases not working out.
@@johncrafton8319 Yes, that's what I'm saying, the bad does get away sometimes on that show.
And Law&Order is Law&Order. Everything else is a spin-off. SVU, CI, LA, etc.
Yeah, I remember a particular SVU episode that was about Detective Stablers daughter being bipolar. He tries to abuse his power to get her out of legal trouble and gets checked, you find out his moms bipolar and how she raised him screwed him up, she refuses to appear before a court and explain her condition to help her granddaughters case because then she'd have to admit she wasn't well.
Benson guilt trips grandma into doing it anyway, but 90 percent of that episode was waaay off the beaten path
I wanted to hear delve into why women watch those shows
Total theory but it could be the fact that women are more scared of being victimized and can be powerless in those types of situations so it’s sort of an instinctual self preservation thing? I don’t know though
Some women frankly like to play the victim card and seeing women victimized on these shows allows them to justify in their minds that all men are villains. I personally can’t stand these shows it’s disempowering and promotes fear, social avoidance and negative stereotypes of men. Actual violent attacks on women by strangers are extremely rare.
@@lamboman7 Why it would be self preservation if the victims are dead? I think that if women like law & order, which I have no idea if they do, they would like it because the wife killer gets his punishment or something like that
Because it satisfies the dark fantasies many women have involving, submission, violence, and saviors. Why does the victim have her cleavage showing when she's in the exam room after having a rape kit done? Why are the male actors dominant, forceful types with a little salt and pepper up top? Why are the perpetrators very rarely women?
@@lzcdf because you learn more about the situation that caused it which will help you avoid it
love the Reacher books, enjoyed the tom cruise movie renditions even though he's the furthest thing physically from Reacher. The new series is entertaining, didn't think I'd enjoy it but the plot was well done for simple summer streaming entertainment
Tom Cruise nailed Reacher's character. He never came across as cocky, just stating the facts, and the fact is, Reacher's a badass.
Thad's got the size right, but he came across as cocky as fuck, and that's the farthest thing from Reacher. The dude might ham up some bravado if he thinks there's a strategic advantage, but he's constantly second guessing and calling himself a dumbass despite the fact he's a fucking genius. Reacher just has really high standards for himself.
And Reacher doesn't translate well to the screen. The best part of the story is his fish out of water internal monologue. Without that, it's just another cliche mash-up.
@@guyincognito8440 YES, totally got Texas Ranger vibes from the show hahaha. The 1st reacher movie with Cruise is a modern classic I think. the cast and direction are so good
I do remember really early law and order when it was actually an interesting show and some of the people who were prosecuted and were guilty went free because either the police made a mistake or the defense missed something. We’re talking like season 1 and 2 original law and order. There was a time when that show did have some heart but that disappeared quickly.
Joe “maybe we’re all the same” “people are just different” Rogan
Ya, people are the same in many ways and different in many ways. Is that too confusing to you?
This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.
Marlon Brando directed a Western that departed from the traditional tropes. It's called, "One-eyed Jacks".
He speaks in a different accent every time hes on camera, Brando ruled.
I like Malcolm Gladwell, and have enjoyed his books that I've read. But wow, did he ever s**t the bed in his debate with Matt Taibbi and Douglas Murray about media bias. Lost a lot of respect for him as a thinker. It was sad. :(
I knew when the question was asked he wasn’t gon answer
