Law and Order has a special place in my heart as being the "other" show on NBC. If it's prime time and you don't know what's coming on, guess Law and Order (or one of its affiliates). You'll be right 2/3 times. That asside, it's actually a pretty good show. The plot is always crazy, and you have to pay attention or you'll lose it. Becase of this, I wouldn't reccommend it to anyone under 12, just because they wouldn't be able to understand it.
OK... it was better with Jerry Orbach as Detective Briscoe, but whatever. It's a fabulous show with good plots and climaxes, but lots of blood with the bodies, lots of guns, and sometimes the cops get rough with a suspect. And also, there is an underlying sexual act. (Nothing explicit, though.) The premise is good; people do bad things and they get punished. (Not always, though.)
Good for older kids; younger kids may not understand the plot or the blood for effect.
Law and Order is a really great show. I watch it with my mom, and I find it to be awesome!!! It teaches you about how law basically works, so if you want to be a lawyer, it's perfect for you!
This isn't the best show for young kids but it is a great show that explains what your job could be like as a cop.It explains what type of people do certain things that against the law .
