Law and Order: Organized Crime - Season 1
Detective Elliot Stabler returns to the NYPD to battle organized crime after a devastating personal loss. The city and police department have changed dramatically in the decade he’s been away, and he must adapt to a criminal justice system in the midst of its own moment of reckoning. Stabler journeys to find absolution and rebuild his life, while leading a new elite task force that is taking apart the city’s most powerful criminal syndicates one by one.

It's a trope-y start for the new series, which leans heavily on the classic cop-out-for-revenge plotline. Moreover, despite the hyped reunion, Benson fans will be frustrated by Stabler's reticence.

Worse, Organized Crime seems to misjudge the appeal of Law & Order altogether, and it does so in a way that only exacerbates the gap between now and the Stabler of old.

Making for a unique and fascinating entry in the Law & Order canon. It's encouraging to see a blockbuster hit series make a concerted effort to meaningfully address America's wake-up call regarding systemic racism.

Offered a far grittier series than viewers may be used to. It felt at times more like a crossover with The Sopranos than part of the Law & Order franchise.

Meloni is Meloni, and McDermott makes for a great rich-guy scumbag, so despite the generic nature of the storyline it's still a decent watch.

You know, gangs, wise guys, mob bosses, in New York City. Unlike the other shows this weekend, this doesn't have many surprises.

Meloni's patented smile-stare is as effective as ever. And the action moved with a familiar Law & Order dispatch. Much of the [premiere], however, felt generic, cursorily plotted and filled out with thin and unconvincing characters

Isn't "classic" L&O, but it's got an intriguing continuing storyline and two fantastic leads.

While Meloni hasn't lost a step as the glaring, gruff and often over-the-line Elliot Stabler, the series premiere of Organized Crime was messy and frustrating, with few of the touches that identify it as a Law & Order spinoff.

Just like Stabler's getting accustomed to working with this team, Organized Crime is also trying out something new: more serialized storytelling.
