Based on the American series that has started in 1990 and has the same name, the series highlights on some of unfortunate murders and cases that has some mystery. Following the two sides of it, the police, who investigate crime; and the attorneys, who prosecute the offenders.
Aside from a few head-scratcher terms, lawyers and judges wearing white wigs while in court and occasionally impenetrable accents, Law & Order: UK should be remarkably familiar to fans of the original series.
For the truly addicted [watchers], it will always be a paler, politer, well-bred echo of the Real Thing, better left on the side of the Atlantic where it originated.
The show retains its source's appeal and should attract longtime fans who might enjoy a rerun with new flavor, as well as nonfans who prefer their mysteries with British accents and vocabulary.
