Critic Reviews

Verne Gay

The new detectives seem so young, eager and fresh-faced that you almost think the Hardy Boys are on the case. Molina's Morales has a bit of that nice New York edge; Howard 's Dekker (in next week's episode) is a little stuffier, duller; he'd probably be better suited to "Law & Order: D.C." Read full review

Linda Stasi

The show doesn't catch fire until next week's "Echo Park" which is an echo of things past--a la Charles Manson's girls and the murder of one who has gotten out of prison. Be sure to catch it. Guest actresses Nancy Youngblut, Bonnie Root and Dale Dickey are so good, they'll renew your faith in the old franchise. Read full review

LOLA for its part shows signs of getting that old Law & Order moxie back. Read full review

Tom Gliatto

Skeet Ulrich and Corey Stoll are well-paired as detectives, and Alfred Molina, looking like an irascible owl, adds some harrumping power as deputy DA. [18 Sep 2010, p.40]

David Hinckley

The rhythms feel off. The cuts don't feel as crisp, the transitions don't feel as sharp. Part of this may stem from the show's deliberate and successful attempt to look L.A. Where the New York edition always had a little grit. Read full review

Randee Dawn

So far, sort of good: twists in the tale, the doink-doink sound, few if any establishing shots. But the series takes a truly unfortunate turn when it follows the villains around, giving away the whodunit and scattering the tension to the Santa Ana winds. Read full review

Tim Goodman

LOLA begins so flat, boring and predictable that you have to grudgingly admire Wolf's steadfast commitment to the holiness of the brand, at the expense of any creativity, originality or shock value. Read full review

The stories are well thought out, there is no consistency to expect with how things turn out (which keeps you on your feet). One episode the detectives will take up 10 mins, the prosecution 30 minutes. The next episode the prosecution might barely get a scene in because of how cut and dry the detectives have made the case. Sometimes it bounces back and forth. Sometimes one side fails and the other doesn't. Sometimes both fail. This variation in how the detectives/prosecutors are involved with each case really helps keep the show fresh. Couple that with well thought out cases to begin with and you get an enjoyable crime show, albeit nothing out of the ordinary. The acting is very Law and Order generic... I don't mean that in a bad way, it just doesn't present anything fresh. Overall I simply don't see why any avid L&O fan couldn't enjoy this show.… Expand

The main characters are not appealing. The cases are not interesting. The dialogue and drama are recycled and derivative. In short, if you are looking for something to take the place of Law & Order, keep looking.

Regarding the pilot: Skeet Ulrich is too lightweight for his role and had a hard time getting beyond that. Someone with the gravitas of a Russell Crowe would be a good choice. Shawnee Smith gave a weak performance as the twisted mother. The story was fairly predictable and conventional,Regarding the pilot: Skeet Ulrich is too lightweight for his role and had a hard time getting beyond that.
