Law & Order: Organized Crime

Implausible, cliched, and everything else Law and Orders of every flavor have been, at least since the mid-90s. However, it's mostly entertaining. There's less role-playing of the "issues of the day", and more action. I was never much of an SVU fan, but I do like the grizzled veteran Stabler is this one.

Stabler is back! The show starts off great. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes. My only criticism is Dylan McDermott as a mob boss? Terrible.

Love, love, love. Die hard L&O will probably not like the newer approach (new in a sense that it differs from L&O). But I love how this built on the current police show aesthetics and it's finding its own style. Being inclusive will always get a few folks mad, but THIS is a great direction. I hope the continue to be bold and give Stabler a solid team. Lol.

I think once viewers understand that this is not supposed to be a branch of SVU they could give it an opportunity on its own. People are comparing it to its franchise when in fact it's really its own show. It doesn't wrap up with a bow every episode bike SVU does. The storylines are longer and for me that's a nice change because I never thought it was realistic for the cases in SVU to be solved within an episode or two. If you're interested in 21st-century mob crimes that are of this time, I don't think that you will have an issue with show one bit. The only reason why I'm not giving it a full 10 is because I'm not sure if it's a budget issue, but props just don't look good on the show. You'll see an iPhone that doesn't have an iPhone interface. You'll see I'll prop for an octopus that isn't CGI so it's inflated and looks really cheap. I think that could possibly get better with a larger budget With more viewership or if they already have the budget from the other series then they need to up their prop game. Watch this without the expectation that it is SVU and just a brand new show and I think you'll have the same outlook as I did.

I can see that my opinion of this program is different from previous ones. I respect their opinions. I have to say that I am a fan of Christoper Meloni and the Elliot Stabler character. I lost interest in SVU when he left and that is not to deminish the others of SVU. Sometimes when a long time key player leaves a show the dynamics of the show and the chemistry of the cast is thrown off balance and it takes a while to recover. I think the cast of L&O: OC is a good group and I am also a fan of Dylan McDermott although he is the villian in this program. As it is said, a good villain is what makes a show work. It is good to see Stabler back and I hope the network gives the show time to hit its stride.
