Law and Order - review

codes and conventions
law and order follows the normal cides and conventions of a TV crime drama, you see the crime scene and then they use their minds mostly and witnesses but very little technology other than CCTV. They use montages to show alot in a little amount of time. Law and order is a guilty pleasure you enjoy watching it even though you know it isnt right, its fun to guess who the murderer is and getting it right is like a puzzle.

Audience
law and order has a wide target audience and will appeal to everyone however is not suitable for children resulting in it being shown after the watershed.

characters
the main characters are a duo both men, white, one in his mid 30's while the other is slightly older. they occur in every episode. however there is a different crime in each episode meaning a different cast, but some people have small roles but appear in every episode. One of the detectives is an anti-hero as he broke the law trying to solve the crime however got all the credit for it, the other is a hero and abides by the law.


it is a seris however you do not need to watch every episode to understand what is going on. It is in cronilogical order so you know as much as the detectives.
