Law and Order is a gritty legal documentary show.

[Lucywang]

Law and Order first came to my attention from channel-surfing. A handsome green-eyed,dark-haired man riveted my attention who was unknown to me as Christopher Noth who plays Detective Mike Logan. I watched this interesting criminal & legal program with interest and kept watching until the End of Season Five when Chris Noth was asked to leave the show as they wanted a "younger,cheaper actor" to replace him quoting Noth. This is like N.Y.P.D. Blue in it's first year- David Caruso left after the first season and that is the end of my interest in that show. Not everyone will be watching this for the handsome actor who holds the main interest of many of the viewers as this program holds it's own. The first five seasons are the best- not just because of Chris Noth but also because they had not yet started changing cast members like they were daily clothes changes,they had also kept to the first half being law with the second half being order which is a very different approach to television. This is a G-rated show compared to the follow-up shows like NYPD Blue which is very R-Rated in it's language & nudity which isn't what Law & Order is about.Law and Order is more of a less gritty legal documentary rather than a cop show.If you like criminal investigation and legal prosecution this is an excellent dvd set to enjoy. The acting,writing & stories alone are worth viewing. The crimes and the joint police/attorneys process of catching the correct people to prosecute is quite fascinating. After season 1, one just wants Season 2,Season 3,Season 4, Season 5.The present day Law & Order is not worth watching unless you don't mind that it is a completely different program than when it first began. This first season is a glimpse of why it was a great show and why all things end for a reason.
