This episode, while taking place in New York, could easily have been an episode of the Los Angeles based series Major Crimes (2012).
Listening to Amanda Warren (Deputy Inspector Regina Haywood) tell the private detective she would get a search warrant to search every inch of his properties, and afterwards he might need a new career, I could hear Mary McDonnell (Sharon Raydor) saying the same words. The delivery was that similar. To make it clear, I think this is a good thing. Major Crimes (2012) ran for six years, here is hoping East New York (2022) can do the same, or longer.
Side note - Amanda Warren had a guest role in two episodes of season 7 of the predecessor series to Major Crimes (2012), The Closer (2005) as DDA Claire Baldwin, so it is possible she may have met Mary McDonnell at that time.
There was one minor downside, where the lead detectives end up questioning a possible suspect at a public event, and then the deputy mayor has to question their actions to Deputy Inspector Regina Haywood and Assistant Chief John Suarez. This seems to be boiler-plate writing, and was not needed.
They did make up for this with an abrupt, unexpected ending. You will not see this coming.
