Law and Order

[CdnCarrie]

Love the L and O franchise.

I watched the original from the start in the 90s and now the reboot. Loved Jerry Orbach! Stilling getting use to Anthony Anderson as a NYC cop!

Watched SUV the entire run.

Organized Crime is okay. Loved Elliot Stabler on SUV but not loving the new series. I’ll keep watching for now.

Only one I never watched was Criminal Intent. Maybe I should binge watch it?

which one is your fav?

Not really a fan of any of them. I used to like the detective 'who done it' shows where you could try to figure out the guilty party as the show unfolded by interpreting clues given along the way. Most of the newer crime/police/detective shows are about creepy/gruesome crimes that I don't enjoy watching and not my idea of entertainment.

Have loved all of them, except Organized Crime. And I really wanted to because I love Stabler. Maybe when there is nothing else on over the summer, I’ll give it another try.

I don’t like that it’s a continuous story rather than complete stories on their own each week.

SVU is my favorite, I guess because of how available it is. On the weekends it is kind of the "go to" if nothing else is on.

You should definitely binge Criminal Intent.

I am a big L&O fan, but the original verison is my favorite. I pretty much keep a linear TV service just so I can have random episodes on all the time. They are the best with Lenny, who is one of the greatest TV characters ever. The Lenny/Jack era are pretty much all good, though I like some of the other combinations too. I did like Dennis Farina on there too. The best partner for Lenny was Ed, followed by Curtis. Jack's best partner was Abbie. I have finally gotten to watch the new episodes and they are good, but I don't love all of the characters - still good though.

I watch SVU and the other spin-offs - I have seen all of them - but I can't just rewatch those over and over like I can with the original series. I do like Organized Crime, but I didn't like how they went back to the same bad guy (Dylan McDermott) after the undercover in the Albanian mob story. I was really liking that series.

 

[Meriweather]

I have watched them all since they first started.
Even LaO: LA and Trail by Jury

Favorite SVU......I'll keep watching organized crime. Hoping it will get better now that Wheatly is gone.
A new bad guy to go after will be good

I actually really liked LA - Alfred Molina was on it! It's too bad it didn't catch on. TBJ may have done better if Lenny had been in more episodes, but sadly we lost Jerry Orbach shortly after it began.

DId you watch L&O spin-off show Conviction? That's one that gets forgotton, but it had Cabot from SVU on it after she got out of witness protection.

Criminal Intent was my favorite with Vincent D'Onofrio, then later Jeff Goldblum. I can't get into Organized Crime tho I like Elliot Stabler. Probably because it's not a new story every week.
Don't remember Trial by Jury. Have to watch those.
Great Franchise

I didn't but I will......if I can find it
There's a Law and Order: UK also. Ran from 2009-2014

I got into UK for a while, some of the stories are lifted exactly from the US version, but it was neat to see the changes due to the legal system, etc.

No i haven’t. And totally forgot about TBJ.

Conviction did not last long - only 13 episodes. It also had Milena Govich on it, but she played one of the lawyers, not her detective character. She was actually better in her role on Conviction as Cassidy never really fit well on L&O. I noticed that Govich directed the latest episode of the original series.

I have been a fan for a long time, SVU and Criminal Intent.
I did buy the box set of season 1 of SVU and started binge watching. Then I realized this is not the serie to binge. I got a little paranoia that there could be a predator everywhere, so if I watch it now, only two or three episodes max!

Loved Criminal Intent, Vincent D'onofrio is amazing in it. Really enjoyed his character and same for Kathryn Erbe as Eames. They worked well together.

And I think this is my favourite episode:

I love most of the L&O franchises - but I can't help but think of this every time I watch

I too love Law and Order, with SVU being my favorite. I also liked the original and Criminal Intent. I am crazy about Christopher Meloni, but I have to tell you that Organized Crime is starting to lose me. I liked it last season (the first season enough) and I particularly enjoyed the episodes with the Albanian mafia.

The problem for me with Organized Crime right now is I feel it is becoming way too far fetched. I always like the episodes that focus on what seem like plausible crime situations. Organized Crime is just becoming too far out there.

My husband and I generally watch the episodes together the weekend after they run, but he told me he thinks he has to bow out of Organized Crime. I just hope they somehow keep Stabler connected to SVU.

Addicted Barely a day goes by it's not my background "music" while I work.

Since SVU has had the longest run and on the most for re-runs, I would say that is a favorite. Not a fan of Amanda and her part is too big now but love Fin. It needs more regulars. ** I just started watching last nights episode - Jason Biggs? - if he is a new long term addition, then that is a good dynamic to add to the cast.

Late comer to Criminal Intent but I do like it - different perspective, more of the profiler puzzle piece style. I like that kind of investigation style, clues & mysteries. Loved Vincent and Jeff - they brought the quirk that the main character really needs to make it different.

Traditional L&O was always GREAT casting, and I loved the passion of the show. Excited that it has come back!! [Anthony Anderson is a returning character, I'm having harder time with the other guy, Donovan, fitting.]

Organized Crime - I'm in love with it! Not just that Stabler has always been but I like a completely different angle, the mostly darkness of it, the continuing story as opposed to episode style, Dylan is such a good villain and the belly of NYC . I do NOT like the crossover with SVU and Benson being part of the show. I don't want them crossing paths other than a work moment. I never want them as a couple - that just does not work for me.

I never saw the few that came and went almost immediately.

Dylan McDermott will be the new good guy on FBI's most wanted starting next month.
