Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001)
This show centers on the NYPD's Major Case Squad (and the offbeat, Sherlock Holmes-like Detective Robert Goren) in its efforts to stop the worst criminal offenders in New York. It also puts a new twist to the "Law & Order" formula: now, in each episode, we see the crimes as they are planned and committed. Written by Brian Barjenbruch Every crime has a history, and every perpetrator has a story. Some of them are presented here, as personal tensions develop, crimes are plotted and ultimately executed, sometimes planned, sometimes not, sometimes by obvious candidates, sometimes not so obvious. Whomever the perpetrator or the victim and depending on the severity of the crime in New York City, the matter could be handled by detectives of the Major Case Squad: a force of brilliant and skilled first-grade detectives who handle the most serious and the most complex crimes that New York has to offer. The best of these is Detective Robert Goren, a brilliant, eccentric detective who, with his partner and perfect foil Detective Alexandra Eames, spots clues that others might miss and sees connections others wouldn't. And he nearly always gets his target. Theres also two more detectives who alternate week to week with Goran and Eames, Detective Zach Nichols and his partner Detective Megan Wheeler and rounding of the team is there supervisor Captain Danny Ross.
