• I was so looking forward to this show coming back, but I've got to say I'm disappointed. Jack McCoy is in his eighties and clearly way too old for his position as D. A. He was brilliant back in the day, no argument from me, but that was then. It appears he has trouble enunciating and walking, not to mention comprehension.

    And this new prosecutor (whoever he is) isn't half the guy McCoy was. It struck me tonight as I watched episode three, when he pulls his furrowed browed, oh so serious face, he'd make a great Stan Laurel impersonator.

    Anyway.... despite the above this is still a show worth watching. Better than any lame, scripted 'reality' show any day.
