Ironside: where physics filed for emotional distress and lost.

“The tomato's grin says it all.”
Ironside
Masterfully crafted. Un-roastable.
An absolute cinematic disaster.
When an assassin's bullet confines him to a wheelchair for life ending his career as Chief of Detectives, Robert T. Ironside becomes a consultant to the police department. Detective Sergeant Ed Brown and policewoman Eve Whitfield join with him to crack varied and fascinating cases. Ex-con Mark Sanger is employed by the chief as home help but eventually becomes a fully fledged member of the team also. Officer Whitfield leaves after 4 years service, and is replaced by Officer Fran Belding.

Ironside: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.
Watched Ironside so you don't have to. You're welcome.
Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Ironside.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Ironside?
Just got out of Ironside and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
Hot Take: Ironside's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched Ironside last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Ironside actually is?
Director clearly thought Ironside was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
