Law & Order UK: Season 2

Hope this series runs as long as the original. Love it!

Season 2 has many eps where you leave with your heart in your throat. The Brits are not afraid to "bring it" like some American productions are. YES, the Brit Eps are American rewrites, but the Brits bring each story home to London in their own way. This set of actors and directors are far more enduring, believable and watchable than the equivalent Americans. And this is saying something, because the American crew is not at all bad, in fact they are very good, the Brits, however, are excellent! Also, I should say Season 2 is a bit bolder than #1, especially the closing ep!

little expensive for number of episodes

Even though some of the stories ring a bell from old USA Law & ORder shows, there is enough difference in the way the legal system works in the UK to make them seem fresh. Really like the coppers in this series also.. One thing to watch out for, the number of episodes in the Season, does not match the TV broadcast seasons, so if you have a set of some kind, be sure to check the actual episode titles before buying. PS I like the music better in the UK series also.

Just to let you know that the story lines are the exact same as the American version, but set in England. If you are a Law & Order fan from the first couple of seasons, you will definitely recognize these story lines. I personally wished the plots would have been different from the American version, but otherwise, I am happy with this purchase. I think the UK version of Law & Order is just as interesting and well done as the American version.

I really enjoyed Season 1 of this series, so I purchased Season 2 as well. I do get BBC America and can view episodes on demand, but I find that the closed captioning is pretty spotty with that delivery system, and the rapid-fire English accented dialogue will lose you in a heartbeat if you are a poor Yank like me.THe DVD Box set gives you several captioning options, and the captions are not intrusive . The series itself is a very interesting take on the regular L&O show most folks are used to. Since the justice system works a bit differently in the UK, you will get an inside look at another country's way of dealing with the investigation and prosecution of crimes.Plus,grown men in wigs? How neat is that?

I was very anxious to see the UK's version of Law & Order and I must say I was not disappointed!! The UK's series was as dramatic & gripping as America's and I really enjoyed watching it. The lingo the British actors used was hard to grasp in the beginning but I learned to understand it immediately. I bought season I & II in 2011 & I can't hardly wait for season III on DVD to be published. I hated that Jamie Bamber's character of Matt Devlin was killed off the show .It was so well written & acted that it brought tears to my eyes. I am waiting not quite patiently I must add for what Law & Order UK will bring its US fans in 2012.

I bought season 2 because season 1 was just too pricey. I did not feel like I missed anything by not seeing season 1. The stories stand up on their own. Loved Jamie Bamber in Battlestar Galactica and have to say I was pleasantly surprised at his performance in this series. I really don't have any complaints, just did not think it overall merited 5 stars.

I had watched the series live and decided that it would be good to re-visit the programme. Good quality entertainment for those who enjoy a "whodunnit" followed by the courtroom dramas attempting to prosecute the offenders. This review has been pasted into all seven series which I bought together because all of them lived up to expectations. Packaging and delivery were up to your usual high level Amazon, well done.

Cant believe this dvd has gone up to £9.50!! It was 5.45 yesterday and i was coming on amazon to purchase this now and saw that it had gone up £4! Deffinetely not paying that much for it!Added this to my review a month after i wrote above:-Bought it for £7 so im quite happy with that, better than paying £9.50. Enjoyed the dvd asswell. So alls turned out ok, change it from one star to 4 now

Excellent

its a good series,but a pity that only series tow is avalable

Great dvd set and good service
