Lei & Ordem: Crime Organizado

I just wanted to say a big Thank You to Christopher Meloni for coming back to Law and Order. You are such a great actor and I think that it is AWESOME that your role as Detective Stabler has been revived. You were made to play this role. I look forward to seeing this spin off series doing really well and continuing for many years to come. Well done Sir.

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.

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.

I guess I'm in the minority here. Had a challenging time trying to follow the plot line. Stabler's series will not fare as well as Benson's SVU because he doesn't have the interesting and charasmatic cast members and co-law enforcement people as Benson has. Did enjoy seeing the ferris wheel in Coney Island, though, as I used to ride it when I was a kid.

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.
