Lives hang in the balance as detectives and prosecutors pursue justice in New York City. In cases ripped from the headlines, police investigate serious and often deadly crimes, weighing the evidence and questioning the suspects until someone is taken into custody. The district attorney's office then builds a case to convict the perpetrator by proving the person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Working together, these expert teams navigate all sides of the complex criminal justice system to make New York a safer place -- and keep the worst offenders off the streets.

The series that has made the smoothest transition with a new costar is Law & Order, whose quality has, if anything, improved in its second season. Go to Full Review Widgett Walls Needcoffee.com 04/20/2020

Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 2 22 successful National Broadcasting Company episodes. See more Matt G @RT78942314 Jul 27 Season 2 continues right where Season 1 left off with providing compelling stories/situation presented with promptly paced investigations / litigation. The dialogue is strong, the writing presents situations in what I would call a balanced approach. I like the duo of Mike/Max as detectives in the first season. Mike and Phil work fine together but the hot headed Max I found to be a bit more engaging then the 'every man' Phil Cerreta. Ben Stone continues to lead the cast as the best performed throughout. Steven Hill is also engaging and the writers even managed to get Richard Brooks to show a bit of passion this season. Season 2 had a few episodes that were 9/10's to me but most of them ended up 8/10's or 7/10's. I have watched some horribly written marvel tv shows prior to doing a deep dive on Law and Order and I have to say that it is refreshing to see actual accredited writers working on tv shows and not disgruntled temp works like Marvel hires. There's always room for improvement but this show has a great foundation to work with. I love me some columbo detective work but I also enjoy 'a few good men' court scenes..... It's like having a sundae for dinner and for dessert as well! See more Read all reviews
