Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan

All in all, the show is much better than it was when it was rotely doing “ripped from the headline” stories, which was only a few seasons ago.

Entertainment WeeklyKen Tucker

New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley

As you would expect from a show entering its 19th season, the acting and the pacing are strong and confident. L&O has always been smart enough to stick with what works.

With relative rookies Jeremy Sisto and Anthony Anderson solving the crimes and scrappy Linus Roache leading the prosecution (with Alana de la Garza) and butting heads with his boss, Law & Order rarely feels like a show entering its 19th season.

Although the program has never wasted much time developing characters, the banter between detectives Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) and Bernard (Anthony Anderson) seems even more disposable than usual.
