Law & Order: Los Angeles brings its tried and true formula to the West Coast, and while it's unlikely to draw new viewers, this spinoff should please fans of the original.

Consider version 2.0 of Law & Order: Los Angeles a step in the right direction with some room left for improvement. Go to Full Review Paige Wiser Chicago Sun-Times 04/11/2011

05/15/2022 The best spin-off ever of Law & Order, but only lasted 1 season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 10/30/2018 Like most who have probably reviewed this show didn't last past the first few episodes. If you stick it out, and Love the L&O scheme you will love this group also. I am @episode 7, and this show just got me; like all the others before it takes a few to get hooked. Too bad they didn't give it a chance, wish there were a few more seasons to binge on. See more 12/03/2013 Sadly this mess was canceld. The tired cast and horrible acting couldnt save this trainrecked series. See more Read all reviews
