After the death of Matt Devlin in the previous series I believed that this series may go down-hill but I was so very wrong... because this series went simply from strength to strength. The cast, now including new DI Sam Casey (played by Paul Nicholls) the team of police officers, detectives and barristers must try and not only crack down criminals but also make sure they go down and get punished for their crimes.
The reason why this drama works so well is because it shows a clear and different comparison between the ways the police and the barristers work together and on their own. It's great to follow the story and cases of crimes through (because in most police and crime drama's you see the hunt to catch the criminal OR the effort to put them away in a courtroom)... but this drama works so hard and manages to provide you with both very well. I find it so interesting to follow these crimes all the way through the law process and I really do applaud this show for that.
The acting talents and performances by all of the actors and actresses in this drama are top quality. The very talented team; including the acting talents of Freema Agyeman(known for her work also on Doctor Who), Bradley Walsh, Peter Davison and Dominic Rowan this drama offers you not only great initiative, drive and storylines but also provides realistic actors that makes this show believable and simply extrodinary.
My favourite episode of the whole series must be 'Dawn Till Dusk' where the team has to try and crack 3 cases in one very long day. The cases include one of police intimidation, one of murder and one of family dispute... but when the arrest the wrong man and accuse him of murder the team start to realise that maybe theyv'e bitten off more than they can chew. This series is an absolute gem and it just keeps going from strength to strength. An excellent series and a reccomended buy :)

The last series of Law and Order UK featured the first major personnel changes since the show started in 2009 with Dominic Rowan and Peter Davison joining the prosecution side. Now these two have settled in we have a further significant change, this time on the police team. Following Matt Devlin, played by Jamie Bamber's departure, somewhat traumatically at the end of Series 5, Sam Casey, played by Paul Nicholls is the new Junior Detective Sergeant.
We have seven shows this time round to go with the 32 previous episodes. These continue to be sourced from the long running US series, which are screened for stories which will translate well to a UK setting. The US source shows for Series 6 were variously originally screened between 1995 and 2009. Whilst I did remember one or two of them from their originals I cannot say it spoiled my enjoyment. However, why they need to continue to be sourced in this manner is not clear to me as I do not see the problem in producing some UK scripts which can be tailored for this market.
The format of the series is as previously. There is a crime which is investigated by the police side, who identify and charge the alleged perpetrator. Then we go over to the prosecution side whose job it is to try to obtain a conviction. Unusually the last episode in Series 5 carried on into the first of Series 6 so we have our first two part story. It is not at present clear whether a Series 7 and 8 is planned (13 episodes at a time are commissioned). However, as this has quickly developed into something of a mainstay in our TV scheduling I would think and hope that it is very likely.

I think series 6 is the best series yet without a doubt. Survivor's Guilt, the opening episode, is absolutely stunning. The writing is exceptional and the new additions in the shape of Paul Nicholls, Peter Davidson and Dominic Rowan are just brilliant. The stories are far more complex, challenging and exciting than previous series, the best episodes being Survivor'S Guilt, Haunted, Line Up and Fault Lines without a doubt. Hope there will be a series 7 as this show just goes from strength to strength.

Good - but not legal
The factual mistakes in both this and the previous series of Law & Order UK are many and serious. Although the series apparently has a legal adviser, he/she evidently is either... Read more
