LAW & ORDER, NBC's long
running crime drama, has been so successful largely because it
has a formula that emphasizes story over character. This
collection contains the show's entire first season, and it is
evident how well the formula works from the outset. Each show
begins with the police discovering a crime and for the first
half-hour two detectives (here it's Noth and Dzundza) wade
through the evidence to come up with a prime suspect. The
second half hour follows the suspect to trial and is told from
the DA's point of view and allows the show to dissect the
intricacies of the US legal system. Staying topical by often
taking cases straight from current headlines, LAW & ORDER
is no less compelling when seen long after the real life
events have faded from the headlines, thanks in large part to
its terrific cast and its intelligent and involving writing.
Contains the entire first season of the show on six DVDs
packaged in a handsome collector's box.
