[.ca] Law And Order: Criminal Intent: First Year

Goren, lots and lots of Goren:
This Law & Order series is a wee bit different from the others in that it doesn't fit the ensemble approach of the other franchises. L & O: Criminal Intent is about Bobby Goren and how he approaches cases and interacts with his partner, colleagues, and others. You either love the Goren character or can't stand him. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground. Personally, I fall into the first catagory. Oddly enough, in my family, the men don't particularly care for Goren and the women adore him. I won't speculate on the basis for this pattern. If you are a fan of L & O:CI, this should be in your library. If you're sweet on Vincent D'Onofrio or the Goren character, you may wear these DVD's out from overplaying.

GREAT SHOW! BEST SPIN OFF!:
Great show with some great performances by Vincent D'Onofrio and the rest. Really great directing.

a great addition to the L & O franchise:
I'm a huge fan of the original Law & Order. Criminial Intent does not disappoint! It's approach is a little different from the original with more emphasis on the police investigative work and the criminals and less emphasis on the legal side. Nevertheless the formula works great. The cast especially D'Onofrio, and the well written stories make Law & Order Criminal an excellent series. I highly recommend the purchase of this DVD collection.

BEST SHOW OUT THERE! Loved it. It's a real great work of acting and writing.

When Law & Order Criminal Intent is good it is Very Good:
I expected to enjoy the DVD of the first year and I have very, very much. Not only have I been able to re-enjoy shows that I had seen, but I was agreeably surprised with those that I missed. Without giving away plots, I hope, my favorite was "Poison": The sheer unswavering, selfish, determination of the lady was very interesting and made the show completely entertaining. There were others as well that I had not seen \oand there were more than I had realized\c. I am very glad that I sent for Law & Order Criminal Intent 1st Year.
