      Season 1 – Law & Order: UK

      92% Tomatometer 12 Reviews 80% Audience Score Fewer than 50 Ratings In a rare switch for programming usually adapted from one side of the Atlantic to the other, the U.K. is the recipient this time around.

      Dorothy Rabinowitz Wall Street Journal The tone works, the scripts exude vitality. Nov 26, 2010 Full Review Tom Conroy Media Life The show retains its source's appeal and should attract longtime fans who might enjoy a rerun with new flavor, as well as nonfans who prefer their mysteries with British accents and vocabulary. Oct 8, 2010 Full Review Troy Patterson Slate The writing is as crisp as Brooks' perfect raincoat, and the partners share a father-son chemistry unseen elsewhere in the franchise. Oct 3, 2010 Full Review Jessica Johnson Time Out Chicago Law & Order: UK continues to be one of the more satisfying spin-offs the franchise has spawned. Jul 2, 2018 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Aside from a few head-scratcher terms, lawyers and judges wearing white wigs while in court and occasionally impenetrable accents, Law & Order: UK should be remarkably familiar to fans of the original series. Oct 3, 2010 Full Review Ellen Gray Philadelphia Daily News Accents (and a few updates) aside, this is one exported L&O that plays as if it never left. Oct 3, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews
