Law & Order: Criminal Intent

I will miss this show. :(

I love all Law & Order series and have seen them all, but for some reason I always had an unwarranted bad attitude towards Criminal Intent. Now that I have binge-watched every episode for the first time, I can safely say I was wrong this whole time. I really enjoyed Criminal Intent and highly recommend watching it. Goren and Eames are awesome!

I marked the entire series as watched, even though I probably haven't seen all of them. Too hard to figure out which ones I've watched or not!

Extremely formulaic. Of all the law and orders, probably the lamest. Unfortunate. You already know what's going on in the first 5 minutes.

overrated & formulaic af. especially this one. Watching Vincent's character do the exact same thing over and over again, and having it seem as if he's some incredible detective with a brilliant mind, it's honestly annoying. He's not Sherlock, and the writing in the show is so bad, that nothing he does makes him even a fraction of that, yet this is how they play it, and why people like this, for some reason. They buy into it, but I guess people want to buy this kind of stuff. it's why they loved House, which had the exact same problem, with obnoxious soap opera romance drama thrown in, & the only other difference being the character was originally a good one, who says some funny & true things times throughout the series. Plus Hugh Laurie is just talented, & fun to watch....

This? i just can't say ther redeeming value to it, add to that the obsession Dick Wolf has with law enforcement and using these shows to push a narrative, using copaganda. It's disturbing. I dont have an issue with cop shows in general, I've enjoyed many of them, but if you make a show with characters that are always infallible heroes, and nothing else (like idk, human beings).... it's cringey. NYPD Blue was really good, for example.

i do like Kathryn Erbe, mostly because she was good in OZ (she was a death row inmate.), and it's a weird role flip, like with Meloni and his characters on OZ and SVU. I

idk. wish i hadn't wasted so much of my time, and therefore life, on watching these Law and Order shows. At least SVU had Meloni for a long time, and even Munch.... was worth watching just to see them. Same can't be said for this...

I always wondered why Goren was rated so highly among Law & Order characters. After watching this show, I can see why. He's great.
But, aside from him, I'd say this show was just alright. It definitely declines in quality as it goes on - S9 in particular is pretty awful. Not hard to see why it didn't last like SVU. Overall, I'd say I prefer SVU in general. Although the higher level of variety of crimes in this show was a welcome change.

On a personal note, I only just realized that I binged watched the entire show in exactly one month. I'm not sure how I feel about that...

Of all the Law & Orders this was the best! I'll have to get the DVDs. Had high hopes for LA
