Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The fifth season of Law & Order marked another milestone for the long running series. With original assistant DA Ben Stone (Michael Moriarty) gone, veteran actor Sam Waterston entered the scene as Jack McCoy; the longest serving cast member after S. Epatha Merkerson and the late, great Jerry Orbach, and he's still on the series to this day. The fifth season also marked the final year for original cast member Chris Noth as Detective Mike Logan, who seals his fate in the season finale. Despite the revolving door cast, Law & Order still managed to provide some powerhouse acting and great chemistry from the main cast of the show. The interplay between detectives Briscoe (Orbach) and Logan (Noth) is by far the best the series has ever provided, and the chemistry between McCoy (Waterston) and fellow assistant DA Claire Kincaid (Jill Hennesey) was very well done to boot. S. Epatha Merkerson is great as well as Lieutenant Van Buren, and Steven Hill is, well, Steven Hill. This fifth season also provided even more "ripped from the headlines" storylines, including one eerily resembling the John Gotti case, and they are done excellently as well. Sadly though, while this is the last superb cast lineup, this is also one of the real last excellent seasons to come from the series, as the revolving door of cast members and staff writers would continue to turn. All in all, as far as network TV cop dramas go, this is about as good as it gets.
