Law & Order: LA
Created by Dick Wolf
On NBC
A standard procedural crime drama anchored in Los Angeles high-profile cases, following the familiar case-per-episode format with modest stakes and reliable resolution.
From the tony Beverly Hills to the seedy side of Hollywood, LAPD’s elite Robbery Homicide Division is on the case. Fusing classic ripped-from-the-headlines storytelling with the backdrop of LA, the series delves into the high profile crimes of the west coast.
