@MHPengwingz@lemmy.world called it in the Ep01 discussion thread, it is a direct reference/homage. Fandom.com put this clip together.
This clip has no relevant spoilers for the show btw

i think you could probably do this with just about every crime-drama show.
Thought this was a chiv 2 sub for a second and got confused lol
“Referencing” when it is almost a straight copy sounds a little light.
Afaik that’s simply what it is called in TV… the Simpsons aren’t considered to be copying shows and movies even if they do whole episodes with storyline or shot-for-shot recreations. It’s a homage, a reference or a parody.
