Law & Order: Los Angeles - Complete Series [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

Like law and order UK you will love law and order l.a pitty only one serries was made but very good

Only one series made not bad

Great cast and some good stories, just very weird as I believe many have stated how the episodes appear on the discs out of order. Makes no sense why they would change the running order, other than that enjoyable enough. Paid a great price for it too. Be aware anyone who wants to purchase this in the UK will need a multi region DVD player to watch them.

Really good and exciting. The characters are very interesting.

No problems at all

Very good

I was an avid fan (almost an addict) of the original NY series, and had just finished that series when L&O LA arrived. I was interested in seeing how it could adapt, and I was very satisfied that it was true to the original - at first. When Det Winters was killed, I was disappointed at the loss of a good character, and good actor, and I could even accept the transfer of a DDA back to being a cop, just. Still, it seemed that the stories had lost nothing, until - suddenly, in episode 18 or 19, can't remember which since I have just switched off in disbelief, Skeet Ulrich is back. It is the reincarnation of Det Winters (and his partner has his moustache back, as well!). What happened? If I had wanted a series about ghosts and phantoms (Heaven forbid), I would have bought such an adolescent series. I find it hard to believe that Dick Wolf and Rene Balcer intended this, so who was responsible for setting the order of episodes? Even the Wikipedia episode list shows this without any comment. The stories themselves are satisfactory, but this disorder leaves a bad taste.

Please read reviews before purchasing.The episodes on the disc are out of order and I cannot figure out the order they should have been in.It does spoil your viewing as a key character is killed off and then appears to return.I am not sure if all copies are the same.It is not the best of the Law and Order franchise so I probably would not recommend it unless you want light viewing and can cope with the episodes possibly being out of order.My seller was quatermass90.They refused to accept the return on the basis of the item being faulty as they said I had opened it and they couldn't therefore sell it to someone else.Amazon as usual are kindly looking into this matter for me.I sugggest you check before buying if the episodes are in the right order and what the sellers return policy will be if you discover they are not.If you want amusement the moustache is a major character in the drama.I wasn't aware 1970's moustaches were back in fashion.It is also a character that is killed off in later epoisodes only to return!!

In a time when TV shows must either "prove" themselves in the ratings within the first few weeks of their airings, "Law & Order: Los Angeles was not given a fair chance. Competing in its time slot against CBS's highly-touted reboot of "Hawaii Five-O," the show had its work cut out for it. Considering the NBC didn't promote it like it should and then put it on hiatus for a while, made some cast changes, and seemed to put all its marketing on its reality programming, this Dick Wolf creation had an uphill battle. Sadly, it didn't make it but it's still a worthy addition to the franchise. The southern California setting provided a contrast in both content and appearance from the other shows in the franchise, set in New York. The L & O: LA cast was very good, headed by Alfred Molina and Terrence Howard, more familiar for roles on the big screen than on television. Although Skeet Ulrich only appeared in six episodes, he still made an impression, especially in his final episode. Bringing in Alana da Garza from "Law and Order" early in the season was also a good move and occasional appearances from character actor Peter Coyote as the DA was also a plus. The breakout star should have been Corey Stall, one half of the detective team that started with him paired with Ulrich and later with Molina. At times, Stall is like a younger, leaner, meaner Lennie Briscoe, the character associated with the legendary Jerry Orbach on the original "L & O." Stall's "Tomas 'TJ' Jaruszalski" is sarcastic, witty, and can kick some major butt. This viewer would have liked to have seen the show go on for at least one more year, just to see how this character developed. The stories, like others in the franchise, were ripped from the headlines, with one obviously influenced by a certain golfer with a penchant for the ladies. "Law & Order: Los Angeles" is one cool show, befitting its location and should be savored for what it is and what it could have been.

Excellent program. Sorry it ended so soon.

Really good TV show, really enjoyed it!

The DVD series arrived on time.
