Out of the Half-Light is pretty much based on a famous (or infamous) criminal case back in the 80s involving the NYPD, and it made huge headlines and even ramifications to this very day. Anyway, Out of the Half-Light is one of the early episodes of Law and Order, and for me these are the episodes I like. They're gritty, they portray New York City which reminds me of The French Connection and Popeye Doyle. There's much wordplay in this episode, with various points of view about race, crime and power structures having air time. It's up to the viewer to decide. We also get to see the grand jury in action.
