Law & Order
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.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyOpinions on the current season are pretty split, leaning a bit negative overall. The new cast gets praise for their acting, especially Maura Tierney as Jessica Brady and Hugh Dancy as Nolan Price, but the stories themselves feel tired and predictable, often lifted from the headlines. People still love the classic elements, like Mike Post's iconic theme and shoutouts to legends like Jerry Orbach, but the consensus is that the show's formula has lost its spark.
