Law & Order is an exceptionally good Emmy award winning crime/drama show on NBC. It’s plots are "ripped from the headlines". Every show begins "In the Criminal Justice System the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important groups. The police who investigate crime and the District Attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories." The first half of the show is the detectives investigating a crime. The second half is the accused being tried in court. It’s the longest running drama series currently on the air and is filmed entirely on location in New York City.
