Criminal Law
Kathryn Erbe's real-life pregnancy was incorporated into the show's plotline, by having her character be a surrogate mother, carrying her brother's child.,The detectives often discuss elements of their cases openly in front of people who they have just questioned. This would not occur in real life as they would risk having the person who overheard them potentially contact someone who might be a suspect.,Detective Alexandra Eames: Sex fiend and a bully, politics is a perfect place for him.,The version of the show shown in the UK on Channel Five has a completely different version of the opening credits with different music.,Referenced in Saturday Night Live: Seann William Scott/Sum41 (2001),There's Only Me

Written by Rob Dougan,I am a long standing fan of Law and Order,the original series. I never could get into SVU, but I love CI. The intelligence of Vincent's character is wonderful and I have fun watching him "trip" the bad guys. There is humor and sarcasm that I find refreshing, it keeps the show from being too dark. I don't find this show overly violent at all. The acting and writing are top notch. Definitely my favorite series this season.,
