Law and order: criminal intent season 1

Critics Consensus

Criminal Intent may hold jurisdiction over viewers who get a kick out of Vincent D'Onofrio's mannered performance, but this spinoff adheres too closely to the Law & Order formula, only without the crucial element of mystery.

"Yesterday"

Verified purchase

New York City Detectives Goren and Eames pick up responsibility for a new case when the mutilated and partially preserved corpse of a young woman is discovered. Just to complicate the investigation, the young woman has been dead twenty years, and her original unsolved disappearance was investigated by their boss, Captain Deakins, who still has a file on the most likely suspect. Goren and Eames will determine the corpse was originally buried under a family home, opening up a new pool of suspects, one of whom may be a serial killer. The two detectives will find themselves in a psychological battle of wits with a murderous control freak.

"Yesterday" is a great episode from the first season of "Law and Order: Criminal Intent". Goren and Eames are still working out their relationship, and Goren is already showing signs of the willingness to buck procedure that will keep him constantly in trouble with the brass. He will, for example, solve the problem of entrance into a possible crime scene by just kicking in a door, after a quick glance around. This episode and the First Season are highly recommended.

It is far and away one of the best series ever made. For some reason, you could tell they were really trying to make it work (not so much so toward the end of the series). There was a lot of interesting interplay between characters and I really love the way they get into the psychology of the subjects involved as well as the state of mind of the detectives. They seemed to get the point across that Detectives (especially in New York City), are in fact highly intelligent, well educated individuals who will stop at virtually nothing to get at the heart of the truth of the matter and with some professionalism. Also, the show had everything including one vital thing, a "sexy" quality, if you will - which for me was translated by Kathryn Erbe and some really good and interesting camera angles, camera work. It was fun to watch her finally bring some scumbag to justice with the use of her sidearm, also proving, that women CAN do the job, contrary to what some idiots might believe. Some great work, I thought.

Great cases with interesting personalities

Verified purchase

Great first season with interesting cases, some fantastic and some ripped from the headlines at the time.It's interesting to watch Goren and Eames evolve and the banter with DA Carver ( Courtney Cox ) behind the "courthouse scenes" I was sorry when this series went off the air yet delighted that they brought back Vincent D'Onofrio ( Goren ) and Kathleen Erbe (Eames) for one final series of showdowns with the bad guys and then "off into the sunset" together//possibly..anyway, the first season is mostly hard hitting police drama-watching the complicated mind of Goren figure out puzzles like a modern day Columbo, while Eames comes slowly to respect, admire and eventually bond in friendship with her partner, while she goes about catching the suspects with old fashioned hard hitting detective work. My only complaint is with the series as a whole but it already begins in season one...the reuse of actors. Everyone who is a follower of this show knows that the station will receive a new captain later in the show, but the actor was a hit man , and a very noticeable one at that, that Goren and Eames had busted earlier in the series. Susan Misner is another guest actress...very good, mind you, but she keeps popping up as completely different characters through out the series.

Fantastic early episode of Law and Order:Criminal Intent

Verified purchase

Criminal Intent (called CI for short) is about a pair of brilliant detectives -- Robert Goren and Alexandra Eames (Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe) who square off against New York City's most depraved criminals. While it's technically a part of the long-running Law and Order series, it's not a traditional police procedural. There is very little emphasis on the inner workings of a police precinct and, unlike the characters in the regular Law and Order, the CI characters evince little interest in the mundane minutiae of suppression hearings and plea bargains. And, most interesting to me, CI usually reveals the killer in the opening of each episode -- the goal isn't to figure out who the bad guy is, but to watch the detectives close in on him and see how they finally bring him to justice.One of CI's strengths is in its villains, and they have a delightfully creepy one here in the form of Talbott, played to small, smarmy perfection by Griffin Dunne. (As I said before, CI tells you who the killer is in the first scene of each episode, before the opening credits play. The game here isn't to find out who did it, but to watch the cat-and-mouse game between Goren, Eames, and the killer as the episode progresses).This episode has a number of highlights, ranging from the aforementioned performance by Dunne as the bad guy to a prevalent role for Detective Eames in the final showdown between Talbott and the detectives. Goren is in top form as he picks apart Talbott's neuroses, reducing him from the cold-blooded and seductive mastermind that he appears to be to the weakling that he is. The episode makes great use of the size difference between Dunne and D'Onofrio here too, with the latter towering over the former as he makes his little point.

It's definitely worth a watch.
