But unbeknownst to anyone, this everyday hero is hiding a chilling secret of her own.

Hello Chris, I have A Question
Why do you think Trial By Jury and Los Angeles Failed?
Law & Order LA failed because it was a pale replica of Law & Order and the cast didn't resonate with fans. Law & Order had been canceled and the LA version just could not match the cast chemistry or the location interest. New York City itself was a big part of the appeal of Law & Order and frankly the LA area just didn't cut it in the same way. Alfred Molina should have been the lead attorney and not Terrence Howard, and the female ADAs were bland at best. Skeet Ulrich was just awful, but Corey Stoll was a huge plus. If Molina and Stoll would have been the lead characters this could have worked but it just had too much going against it.
Trial By Jury, well, I'm trying to recall what the problem was. Jerry Orbach was there for a while but when he passed away, I suspect fans left around that same time. I'm not sure fans ever warmed up to Bebe Neuwirth but in retrospect I think she was okay. Amy Carlson...bland. I like Scott Cohen and Kirk Acevedo. Maybe for this series it was a bit of Law & Order "fatigue" at the time, possible viewers just weren't ready for this newer style Law & Order?
Yeah I wish Law & Order was renewed back in 2010, the revival just feels off to me. I watch Los Angeles and I wish it succeeded, they had something, but from what I read it was botched from the start, and they try to revamp it in the 2nd batch of Episodes.
Trial By Jury, I must admit, when Jerry Orbach died, the show was done, it was the possibly the only reason it was greenlit. If Jerry Orbach had lived, it could of continued.
What If they renewed Law & Order back in 2010? How would that change things?
Also I miss your reviews. It would be really interesting if you did reviews on old episodes.
I miss doing the reviews too. I just don't have that much time any more. I ate up a good part of 3 days (I had time to barely do one a day). That's why I don't go back and do the old ones!
Law & Order should have never been canceled in 2010! There'd be no Law & Order LA, that's for sure!
