Law and Order Review Summary
Law and Order has been around for quite awhile, yet reviewers still feel that "ripped from the headlines, the original recipe still rules." The stars of the show have changed over the past nearly two decades, including when Jerry Orbach died, but the focus of the show has remained on half of it being on the detective work for a case and the other half being on the trial. Some reviewers confess to being "Law and Order addicts," watching the first run and repeat episodes as well as the spinoffs of Law and Order: SVU and Law and Order Criminal Intent. It's an "outstanding show that is very well-written" and one that "never grows old." Law and Order is "hands down the 'daddy' of crime shows."

When he first developed Law and Order, I wonder if Dick Wolf had any idea that he would be changing the face of television for years to come? Today, the formula seems simple, but way back when this show first aired, it was revolutionary: devote half of every episode to the police work involved in making...

I used to be a HUGE L&O fan. I loved the characters and the show's treatment of current headlines. The plots were always interesting to me with great twists and turns.

Law & Order is a great show if you like crime dramas. The acting is good and the way they use familiar stories and give them a twist is very entertaining. Law & Order was almost canceled this year but luckily it was given another chance to gain popularity and ratings. I used to watch it occasionally but since they've added Jeremy Sisto to the cast, I'll definitely be watching weekly. Hopefully, I'll be one of many to tune in and this season's ratings will be good enough to keep the show off the chopping block for many seasons to come.
Law and Order have been around a long time and I have enjoyed it all the years it has been entertaining me. There are so many reasons to watch; excellent stars, lots of action and the story lines never end. I will watch show after show and I love the marathons no matter which Law and Order it is I watch them all. I am very glad they came up with this show and I hope they will continue to provide me with action and drama.
