Law & Order was once a remarkable television series, and this, a collection of its first series immortalizes that fact. It's too bad the series is in such a downfall to a disappointing show aiming for shock value, meanwhile compromising above all intriguing writing. And the mass of Law & Order "sister" shows (SVU, etc) doesn't help the integrity of this once prominant show. The first couple of seasons (including this one) were really outstanding though. Above all the cast in the older Law & Orders were really capturing. Most notably Michael Moriarty as Executive A.D.A. Ben Stone and Steven Hill as D.A. Adam Schiff. So scrap the bad recordings to VHS or catching reruns at unusual hours, grab a copy of this once great series and remember what good television used to be like. The plots may have huge holes but its the characters that drive this series, both the leads and the guest stars. Det. Goren is an acquired taste, but if you like his quirky character the series is a lot of fun. Det. Eames is always making smarky witty remarks and is euqally effective in catching the bad guys. The team likes to go undercover for a short time making this show a bit different than other procedural dramas. The leads have distinct personalities and working skills, thus the x-files Mulder/Scully comparison. Not much time is spent on their personal lives though except for a line here and there.
