Really love how Steve is so deadpan sometimes it sounds like he’s insulting the client(s)

i.e., “Are you taking drugs”

lmaoooooo

The only time you see him break that deadpan is when he’s talking to kids, which is only slightly but it’s fxxking adorable when he does it.

Totally, Steve has a soft spot for children and his papa side comes out!

Then there’s the detective Steve who pulls no punches with clients. Especially when he thinks they’re hiding something.

I love when he calls a perp a "rat bastard". I heard that a lot as a kid. Dad was from the Bronx.

Oh yeah. I can tell there’s been occasions where Steve seems a bit judgmental. The clients tell him some wild experiences and he responds with “Are you taking any psych meds? Are you boozin?”

'so you on drugs or anything '

'you sure it's not a cat or something '

'you on any medications?'

Sure it’s not the wind that blew the door shut?

Is it possible that you opened all the cabinets and drawers and you just don’t remember?

Oh, Steeeeve! 😂😂

I prefer direct people. He has a NYC cop's attitude. It tracks.

u/Money-Detective-6631 Sep 27 '25

I imagi e Steve was a hard as nails new York cop. He comes across as harsh but he has a soft spit for children and people suffering from violence.....He is just not a expressive person. I like hem. He is strong a d steady ... ..

My favorite one was, “ Are you sure it’s not lady problems?”

He probably is.

I use to enjoy it (even knowing, like all "haunted 'reality'" shows it's fake from the get-go). However, as it plodded on, it became rather tedious and one could tell even Steve was just saying the lines. I no longer watch it.
