It's a shame they canceled the original series to make room in the schedule for this one....it is boring and frankly none of the characters are interesting or compelling. None of them make me care for them or about them whatsoever.While the cast cast of the original changed over the years, the compelling issue was the city of NY and it's people. I have lived almost all of my life in NYC including the fact, that I was born there. L&O always showed NYC with it's warts and all. This show reveals nothing of LA and in fact, just plays to the generally plastic and banal aspects of LA. While LA isn't NY the show should at least be compelling.....however, LA is a boring plastic backdrop to a non compelling collection of stories and cast....shouldn't't the cast have chemistry and actually care about each other?I expected far better from Dick Wolf. In fact, I think several of his shows that never made it much beyond NBC's starting gate were far better than this!

I really can't believe that this show is supposed to replace the original. As mentioned in the other reviews, nothing about L&O:LA says Law & Order. And definitely, no one can be a Jack McCoy on this show!!! It has been a big disappointment thus far. People who love the L&O series appreciate the uniqueness of the show. I could always identify a Law&Order episode just by a glance, but not this time. From the "CSI" type cinematography, the poor acting, the terrible writing/story lines, and the absence of the intro music the show is off to a terrible start. I can't imagine that it will last too long. Hopefully, it will get better through the season.

I was looking forward to this new series since Law and Order got canceled. I hoped they could repeat the magic but it did not happened. The first episode is horrible. Everything looks exactly like any other series around too hip too youngish. May be the producers want to catch up with a younger audience but I have to say that this series does not cut it. It is too slow for youngster and too glossy for the people who loved McCoy and the others. Both the detectives and the prosecutor do not charm in anyway. It is so sad that NBC canceled something as perfect and well balanced as the original series to create this. I will watch L&O reruns rather than spend my time on this one. I hope they will continue to print the DVDs!
