| Review:
|
Trial By Jury is the fourth Law & Order series. Law
& Order is really one of those things in the world that
I don't understand. I never really liked crime dramas, but
Law & Order was the original. The original Law & Order is
good from the episodes I've seen now and then, but all these
spin-offs are downright ridiculous. What makes this Law
& Order so different is that they not only show the police
work on the crimes, but the actual trials of the victims
and suspects. The stories are ripped right from the headlines,
but I mean come on, how many Law & Orders do you need. This
was a short-lived series that has only 14 episodes.
Image & Sound: All 14 episodes come in 4:3 and with
5.1 Dolby Digital sound. The picture and sound is good.
Colors are sharp, and there are really no major flaws to
it. Sound is pretty decent too. You also have English and
Spanish subtitles available.

Features: |
The set tries to make up for
a lack of features by including an SVU crossover episode.
There is a behind the scenes featurette, which is nothing
spectacular. It's a pretty standard featurette with basic
info and interviews. You also get some deleted scenes, which
are really the highlight of the special features. With only
14 episodes it's nice to see what was cut from them. --- |

Final Words:
|
A forgettable spin-off from
Law & Order that really wasn't needed. From what I've watched
on TV it's Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU that are the strong
series. Hopefully we won't see anymore spin-offs, or anymore
crime dramas for that matter. Originality is becoming harder
and harder to find on television. Shows like LOST and Scrubs
are in my opinion breaths of fresh air in the mess of reality
tv, bad sitcoms, and crime dramas that we see every night
during primetime. |
