I finally caught up with the last season of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Initially, I did not like it because Law & Order: Criminal Intent was less a L&O franchise & more about D’Onofrio’s quirky & unique acting style. I grew to appreciate it as the producers struck more of a balance between respecting & diverging from the franchise, but it never truly had a courtroom side. Others who tried to take D’Onofrio & Erbe’s place wisely refrained from imitation & did their own thing. Appreciated how this one emphasized story arcs of the criminals AND the detectives through several seasons. I’ll miss it.
