Law and Order

The original Law and Order and its two sister programs, Law and Order SVU (Special Victim's Unit) and Law and Order Criminal Intent are really good TV shows, as far as I am concerned. All three of the above are well thought out and well put together for captivating viewing. Something that always amazes me about really good shows, like the above, is how "believable" the actors are in the roles they play.

Each episode in Law and Order follows a case from both sides of the prosecution side so the initial investigation and arrest is shown and then the prosecutors take centre stage as the case is bought to trial. In Law and Order probably more of the show is ficused on the attempts to get a conviction and the legal horse trading that takes place in the American system where ...  Read the complete review

Law and Order is the longest running crime drama going, and whilst long running doesn't necessarily mean successful, in my opinion it is also the most successful crime drama ever. ~The Programme~ Each programme begins with "In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories." Set in New York, each week it follows a new crime which as been committed. Initially we are shown the work of the police detectives assigned to the case, how they being ...  Read the complete review
