I think I am one of the few people in America that is not a fan of the original Law and Order or Special Victims Unit (SVU). It just doesn’t really appeal to me as most SVU episodes I have seen are about horrible things happening to children which I can’t handle and I have nightmares about them for days. Last night at my friend Gretchen’s house we started watching the pilot of the newest series in the Law and Order franchise, Law and Order: Los Angeles, which was mainly interesting to all of us as we live in Los Angeles. There was a murder at the Edison! I’ve been there! They questioned people in We Ho on Sunset Blvd. I’ve been there! All the street names that flashed up on the screens I actually recognised rather than them being strange (to me) numbers like the other series have. Although the familiar ripped from the headlines story line, about teenagers robbing celebrities homes, was weak and the acting was average it was fun to see places that I was familiar with. Even if they were associated with murder. So for me the jury's still out on Law and Order: Los Angeles, although I do say that you should never base a show on it's pilot (hello Private Practice!) so maybe it can still win me over. If there aren't too many child abduction story lines.
Law and Order: Los Angeles airs Wednesdays at 10pm on NBC and reruns air on USA.
