I am focusing my critical eye on a smaller screen. When people ask me why I decided to become a lawyer, if I’m feeling succinct I tell them “Law & Order.” I fell in love with the venerable series in its early heyday of Ben Stone and Mike Logan. And while I never fulfilled my ambition to become a blue-suited, tough-talking ADA, “Law & Order” has entertained me ever since.
Nonetheless, as any true aficionado will tell you, not all seasons of “Law & Order” are created equal. And so, to aid anyone considering some winter Sunday binge-viewing, I offer Tale of the Tape IV: Watching Like the Wolf.
