Ley y orden: Crimen organizado

I'm the first to admit, the first two episodes were kinda dry. Despite the slow start, we hung in and continued to watch until it became the most anticipated tv show of our tv watching week. The cast does a really good job; you'll love to hate the bad guys and cheer for the good guys. That's just how a cop show should be. This show isn't like your typical episodic L&O series, but give it chance and it will soon grab your attention. 8.5.

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.

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.

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 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.
