Law & Order

A murder (usually adapted from current events), is tracked from two separate vantage points. The first half of the show follows an investigation of a crime by the police, the second half follows the prosecution of the same crime in court.

Filmed on location in New York, the drama showcases the sometimes-complex process of determining guilt or innocence, while lives hang in the balance. Often inspired by the latest headlines, the plots highlight legal, ethical or personal dilemmas to which people can relate.
