Synopsis
Unlike most police procedurals, Dick Wolf's seminal series takes the viewer from crime to conviction. As its title suggests, Law and Order pairs the perspectives of the police and prosecutors. The first half of the show devotes itself to the investigation of a crime in New York City, while the second half dives into the legal proceedings. Series five features Chris Noth in his final series as Detective Mike Logan, with seasoned veteran Jerry Orbach playing the wry Lenny Briscoe. This season also marks Sam Waterston's first as Jack McCoy, one of the most popular characters on the series. Claire Kincaid (Jill Hennessy) joins McCoy in the district attorney's office. The fifth series of the Emmy-winning series features an impressive roster of guest stars, including Laura Linney and Edward Herrmann. Future Sopranos regulars Edie Falco, Aida Turturro, and Dominic Chianese also make appearances.

I am a native English speaker, yet I too use English subtitles. They allow me to view with the volume way down so as not to wake the kiddo and, I've got to admit, keep up with the legalese. Does Amazon have an Ombudsman? If so, please step in and contact the manufacturers!
Have to give it four stars, though. The Hennessy - Waterston combination is one of the best legal teams on TV! Hated to see Hennessy go.

I'm sorry everyone is upset about lack of English subtitles and I can understand your frustration, but I feel obliged to say a few words about the actual episodes. I've just watched this and they are as good as any other series, all of which are excellent. I was gripped the whole time. If you like the other stuff you will like this. The best crime series ever. Bar none.

Have long been a Sam Waterston fan but he excels as the charismatic Jack McCoy.
From start to finish there is no let up, no personal lives of the characters to get in the way of the plots.
Jerry Orbach and Sam Waterston, what a combination.
This beats all other crime shows into a cocked hat.

One of the best cop shows
This is the very strong show and I would say that this is a very consistent collection of episodes. I don't think there were any particularly great episodes unlike the previous... Read more

Thank you for this comment
Anita. You express so well what I have been thinking for a long time. I'm a lot like you. English isn't my first language and I'm not hearing impaired. Read more
