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.

06/29/2016 It's a good show. Just began watching it on the Ion Television all day marathons. This is a very good and interesting show, but I think it could have done without the "witty" and "as-a-matter-of-fact" comments from the detectives. It's supposed to show them as seasoned and "have-seen-everything" types, but it's just plain annoying and truly out of place. The show tries to showcase their profession and the hardships they endure in their unrelenting quest for justice, but the sarcasm and callousness of the comments did nothing but the opposite. Although it's a good show, I can't figure out how it lasted two decades. I'll watch the re-runs, but will watch something else if something else is on rather than this show just because I don't like the callousness of the characters who are supposed to be the heroes.
