This semester to two middle school substitutes, in addition to preparing lessons and tame a group of little devils, they also have to deal with some rigid tasks, such as grading homework and so on. Ordinary life always needs a little adjustment, so I found the classic American criminal drama "Law & Order" to watch. At first, I was attracted by the title of the play. In the occasionally chaotic middle school classroom, the two noble and stable concepts of "law" and "order" just spoke to my inner desire; You can also use the cases in the play to give students an opportunity to educate. After jumping into this drama, I gradually found that no matter the theme or shooting style, it was all in line with my appetite, so I watched it episode by episode.

"Law and Order" is a TV series that more realistically reflects the American judicial system. It has been on the air for 20 years and has spawned a huge series of works. It can be said that everyone in the United States knows it. What I liked was the first to third seasons. Although it was shot in the 90s, it didn't feel old or outdated. Each episode in the play is an independent case (mostly homicide), divided into two parts: the first half of the "police" and the second half of the "prosecutor". The police are responsible for confirming and arresting the suspect, and the prosecutor convicts the suspect in court. The prosecutors are each partnered by an old man and a young man, so there are four protagonists, and other important roles include the police captain, the chief prosecutor, and a psychiatrist. The story takes place in New York, and you can learn about the local customs by the way, but the most exciting part is the court trial. With the obstruction of uncooperative suspects, cunning lawyers and uncertain factors, the prosecutors have to overcome many difficulties in order to find and Present key evidence and bring the culprit to justice.

What impresses me most about this drama is, of course, the sense of justice of the prosecutor Stone. Assistant Attorney Paul and the two detectives are also able to work together to fight for justice. This kind of plot often appears in the play: in order to find the murderer, the police need to watch hundreds of hours of surveillance video tapes, retrieve hundreds of transaction data, etc., and prepare extremely hard. But just having a sense of justice is not enough. After arresting the suspect, the trouble begins. Whether it is a loophole in the law or the protection of human rights, the defense will definitely use all kinds of laws and regulations to avoid evidence or statements that are unfavorable to itself, and make the jury Believe in the innocence of the suspect. During the trial, the circumstances of the case may change. The suspect is just a pawn with a huge underworld organization and political interests behind it. Faced with such a situation, prosecutors must not only be familiar with the laws and precedents, speak generously in court, and try their best to prevent the suspect from escaping the crime; if necessary, they must resort to "dark tactics", intimidating, threatening, enticing, and sidetracking. , to find another way, the big one can catch the culprit by forcing accomplices or witnesses to cooperate by means of prosecution, commutation or false news. In the back and forth of offense and defense, the various "rules of the game" of the law are unknowingly planted in the minds of the audience, achieving the effect of educating and entertaining. Watching this play can satisfy your intellectual and speculative needs, just like a brainstorm.

Because the tone of the play is rational and rigorous, most of the criminal process and bloody scenes are covered in one stroke, and it is even called a "police and bandit drama without gunshots" (there are very few shootings in the whole play). The description of the criminal's psychology can also be quite alert to the world, not to commit the same greed and selfishness, vain, ruthless, blind impulse as the people in the play, so as not to be lost in a single thought. This show deserves its name as a classic.

    Ten stars can't express my compliment! This society is made up of people after all! People are the ones who commit crimes, people are judged, and people are the ones who build order. What can be more thorough than this drama to express this delicate relationship?
