I love Law and Order! They’ll be back for one more season.
Lol, Lost. :p
It’s odd that you claim so much knowledge of and disdain for a show you admit to never having watched! Law & Order has had some of the most original and inventive plot twists I’ve ever encountered — not to mention an impressive stable of powerhouse actors. Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with it sometime. You’ll be pleasantly surprised!
@Julian I didn’t say I disdain Law & Order, I disdain the genre.
Law and Order is NOT formulaic – it focuses not primarily on the solving of the crime, but also on bringing the perpetrator to justice. You can learn a lot (on the whole accurate) about the rules of evidence, and on the tactics of plea-bargaining. I for one will miss Law and Order badly (the spin-offs, I admit, are just normal crime dramas, so I do not understand why the original is being cancelled rather than them!)
What would be original about crime dramas is that they actually solve, more or less, half the cases. I used to watch these shows till they got so darn predictable. The ubiquitousness of the genre says a lot about the intellect of the American public. I’ll take non-fiction tv any day.
