Introduction to The Law & Order
The Law & Order franchise is an American drama about a criminal case investigated by the police.

The storyline of The Law & Order
Every crime show needs a crime, and The Law & Order is no different. In this case, the offense is murder. To figure out who murdered someone, detectives sift through the evidence and interview potential suspects. At the end of each episode, they conclude who committed the murder and how they were caught doing so.
Aside from being one of America’s most widely watched shows, The Law & Order has ten seasons beloved by viewers and critics alike.
Time magazine has listed it as the 85th greatest American television show of all time. It has been noted as one of the most popular television shows that is currently airing. There have been two spinoffs and a web series based on the series.
