*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
When shows have been on the air for more than seven seasons, they tend to get a tad stale. "Law & Order" has just started its seventeenth season, amid numerous cast changes, and now has been shifted to that "doomsday" period of Friday night. However, this has been one of the long-running show's strongest seasons, with every episode shown thus far to be outstanding.
"Deadlock" is the best, beginning with a riveting first half, dealing with the search for an escaped killer (guest Mark D'Amico) that continues his murderous rampage. Detectives Green (Jesse L. Martin) and Cassidy (Milena Govich) are relentless in their quest to find the killer before he does any more damage. The scenes of them interrogating the killer's associates and family members are riveting and the ultimate confrontation and arrest is no less of a nail-biter.
The subsequent trial has the characteristic "Law & Order" plot twists, with DA McCoy (Sam Waterson) matching wits with an opportunistic defense lawyer (guest Donna Blaszcyk), and ultimately having to deal with the "correctness" of prosecuting of a grieving father (guest Chris Walker) that takes the law into his own hands.
If the remainder of the show's season is this strong, some Emmy nominations should be forthcoming.
And, if the ratings flourish, an eighteenth season is a certainty.
