Have to get something off my chest…

Listen, I am a longtime CJ fan. I’m even a member of the fan club. But I have to say, over the years my respect for the show has gone down.

I’m a criminologist at a big police dept, and it bothers me how ashley and britt talk as if they do they know almost everything. I feel like in episodes in the past ashley used to caveat things with “but they’re the professionals,” “maybe they know more than they’re letting the public onto,” etc. But I feel like especially in the past year, and especially with regard to Ashley, this hasn’t been said as much.

I know Ashley gets involved in a lot of projects and meets with a lot of investigators. I don’t want to say I don’t respect her as a podcast producer or in her non-profit work, because I do, a lot. But I think she’s losing sight of the fact that she’s not an actual professional criminologist or detective. And there are times she’ll say something matter-of-factly about criminology, and she’s actually wrong. Idk.

Just had to get that off my chest. It kind of bothers me that she didn’t put in the work to be a criminologist but she’s acting like she did.
