Title: Skip the First Four Seasons--Best Cast Yet to Come
Review: I love Law & Order. I watch it on TNT. I used to watch it on A&E. And, of course, I watch it on NBC in prime time. But if I see it's from Seasons 1-4, I don't watch. I can't stand the cast in the early seasons. Michael Moriarty pales in comparison to the amazing Sam Waterston; neither George Dzunda nor Paul Sorvino can hold a candle to Jerry Orbach; and, of course, it's good to see some women (S. Epatha Merkerson, Jill Hennesey, Carey Lowell, Angie Harmon, Elisabeth Rohm) in the cast. Yes, Steven Hill is a better D.A. than Dianne Weist, but he's around for a few of these years, and this year former Senator Fred Dalton Thompson has taken over as Jack McCoy's boss. The other male policemen (Benjamin Bratt, followed by Jesse L. Martin) are worthy successors to Chris Noth. I strongly urge waiting for the fifth season with the far better casts.
Is the review positive or negative?
