Storyline
A half crime Drama/half legal procedure focusing on the Criminal Investigation Department (C.I.D) Detectives who investigate murders involving the people on the streets of London and the Crown Prosecutors who prosecute the defendants in court. The police half focuses on the exciting case load of London Metropolitan Murder Investigation Unit (M.I.U) made up of dedicated officers including recovering alcoholic senior Detective Sergeant (D.S) Ronnie Brooks (Bradley Walsh), who substitutes booze with food, and the younger, smoother junior Detective Sergeant (D.S) Sam Casey (Paul Nicholls), who can come on strong and backing them both to the hilt is their boss Detective Inspector (D.I) Natalie Chandler (Harriet Walter). Once our police heroes start pounding the streets in the pursuit of their prime suspect by piecing together the clues of each and every heinous crime and they do not stop until the jigsaw is complete and they have enough evidence to make an arrest. But catching the killer ... Written by DanDud88

Trivia
Like Conviction, another series within the Dick Wolf "Law & Order" franchise, this show has a lead prosecutor named James Steel(e). In Law & Order: UK, Crown Prosecutor James Steel is played by Ben Daniels. In Conviction, ADA Jim Steele was played by Anson Mount. See more »Goofs
The scene cards at the start of the trial sequences say "Crown v. xyz". In England prosecutions are in the name of the Queen and are annotated "R v XYZ" See more »Quotes
Narrator: In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The police who investigate crime, and the Crown Prosecutors who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories.See more »
Like an earlier poster, I've never watched any of the bewildering array of either CSI or Law and Order series. In fact, I haven't watched a US cop show since NYPD Blue and I haven't seen a US courtroom drama since the days of dear old Perry Mason so I have no idea how this UK version compares and nor do I care.
All I know is that this is an entertaining and engrossing drama. The stories feature different crimes, not just murder after murder and the good guys don't always win. Bradley Walsh is a revelation, Jamie Bamber is virtually unrecognisable after playing Apollo and Bill Paterson has never turned in a bad performance.
Excellent stuff
