Especially to the character Mike Logan; we saw a somewhat different 'more humane' side of him in LOCI than we did in Exiled or L&O (1990-95).<br /><br />Leight should have never stepped off of CI. He needs to come in the final season.

I think Perry Mason would probably bore me now if I watched it too, because attitudes to Law have changed.

He is so atypical that I like him because it is refreshing and current. We have moved from the secure aristocratic traditional and avuncular Adam Schiff who sat in an armchair, through levels of shifting idealism in various DAs, to this steely eyed man who embodies the Law as it is now.
