DVD Reviews of Law & Order Criminal Intent - The Third Year
DVD Review: A VERY GOOD SEASON
Summary: 4 Stars
i'll admit - Law & Order Criminal Intent is an acquired taste. The stories can be so complicared that more than one viewing is often necessary. The stories are also very cruel, but then those murders brutal enough to gain notice by the Major Case Squad would be. Many find Vincent D'Onofrio's outlandish characterization of Det. Bobby Goren hard to take. And it is the most formula of the Law & Order franchise.
Goren gets away with things in interrogation that the suspects' kawyers would never sit still for. And I don't know how well the evidence would hold up in court.
I feel a good actor like Jamie Sheridan has little to do. Kathryn Erbe as Det. Alexandra Eames is a personal favorite, with her frequent asides and remarks about Goren's quirks. By the way, why does series creator Dick Wolf name so many of his female characters Alexandra? There was Alexandra Cabot on SVU and now on Law & Order Alexandra Borgia.
Eames'presence this third season is reduced due to the actress's real life pregnancy. Goren's partner in seven episodes is Samantha Buck as Det Bishop. The big mistake is that there is no episode intriducing Bishop and her character's first name is never revealed.
I'm hoping next season's addition of Chris Noth, reprising his original Law & Order character Det. Mike Logan (signed for 11 episodes) will diversify the format. Maybe the addition of more detectives, as there is in SVU, would be in order.
in this season there are quite a few references to the second season, which begs a question - when is universal going to release those episodes on dvd?
The big problem with all the Law & Order series is the inconsistency in dates. Title cards appear before several scenes telling the audience when these events are taking place. They are often inaccurate, which seems the antithesis of their purpose. For example, Eames returns from maternity leave in January. but Bishop's last eoisode takes place in February, Are we to assume Eames came back then took another month off later? In the episode The Saint, it is supposed to be February. The detectives find a letter they say was mailed two weeks earlier - but when they show a close up of the envelope the postmark is in March! And in the episode Fico Di Capo, it is supposed to be April but the ground is covered with snow. As a former denizen of the east coast i can tell you there are rarely flurries in April - and almost never a full blanket of snow that time of year. Does no one at Wolf Films own a calendar?/
One mistake is in the episode Pas De Deux where the writers can't seem to decide if the perp's name is Johnny or Donny. These quibbles aside, I enjoy the series and this season in particular.
Universal - get that second seaon on the shelves. And let's hope the producers will pay more attention to these important details in the future.
