Law & Order: Criminal Intent - The First Year (DVD, 2003, 6-Disc Set)

These are great episodes. The first year was one of the best. I only remember a few of the episodes, so the rest are like watching a new episode. The picture quality from the DVD is excellent. The box and packaging is like new.

This Law & Order series focuses less on what happens in court and more on the detective side of the crimes. It has great character development on both sides of the law and offers its fair share of plot twists and surprises. Vincent D'Onofrio's role as Dect. Robert Goren is great and entertaining. Kathryn Erbe's role as Dect. Alexandra Eames offers a serious and intelligent contrast to Goren's sometimes quirky behavior. Though not the #1 favorite series of some die-hard Law & Order fans, it is a must see for detective and mystery fans.

I like the tv series Law & Order Criminal Intent because it is great and I love it so much and everyone should be able to watch this for fun. I like mysteries and I have fun solving them.

It's like Detective Eames said in one of the episodes--"Detective Goren is a acquired taste." I have grown to love CI. Most of the episodes are soooo entertaining and that's what Eames and Goren do--they entertain. Isn't that why we watch TV.

I bought the first year collection. It was used but it was in excellent condition. I will never buy from a video store again.

perfect show perfect acting love to watch detective goren screw the suspects minds lol a+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Can't tell much about the dvd, since I have never received it, supposedly the person I purchased it from has sent a second copy but I have not received it yet either, I am hoping I am going to like it when I get it....

It was just as described and came quickly! The price was very good as well. Thank you very much for the item!

great show -now i can see all i may have missed and do so at my leisure

looking for the other years to add to my collection

The Law & Order franchise branches out in a different area focusing mostly on the police investigation and less on the courtroom scenes. Many of the Criminal Intent episodes remind me of the 1970's Columbo in that some of the plot lines are similar, and lead detective acts similarly.

This show reminds me of a modern day version of sherlock holmes. I love the way the detectives do more than merely solve the crimes. The show does not only focus on getting the "bad guy" but try very hard to get to the core of human emotions. For anyone who loves crime drama but sometimes wants more than a good ending, this show is for you.

Great show with lots of great actors and lots of great interogations. I only recieved thsi product a few days ago and already have watched numerous episodes. I find it hard not to watch all the DVD's in one sitting.

All actors of the highest quality, so one can look at the episodes over and over and truly be entertained.

This seller did not send me my items! I emailed and got no response. AVOID! I have never had this problem with any other seller on half.com. AVOID!

The first season of Criminal Intent is amazing. It has great storylines, it's suspenseful, and it's never ever boring. Vincent D'onifrio makes this show.

Product was just as promised, in excellent condition. I do wish they'd done more special features as I totally adore Vincent D'Onofrio, but all in all Season One was great.

This is my favorite show ...love bobbie he is great..the show just wouldn't be the same without him..i like the other law and orders but this is my favorite..would love to meet him he is awesome..

This show is absolutely my favorite of the Law and Order series. The characters are truly smart in their acting and the script is well written. It gives you glimpses of the characters background but keeps the focus on the story playing out. The stories are interesting and captivating and we love seeing how the main characters not only figure the crime out but interact with the suspects.

Criminal Intent is IMHO, the best installlment of the Law and Order series yet. Detective Robert Goren (played by Vincent D'Onofrio) is a cheeky, likable guy who has an uncanny ability to see right through a suspect, zeroing in on every weakness. Alex Eames (Kathryn Erbe) is a solid, competent detective with a dry wit who plays off her partner's quirky manner well. Supporting cast Jamey Sheridan and Courteny B. Vance are well-developed enough to hold their own. All in all an excellent series for fans of classic L & O as well as newcomers to the series.

I bought this because it is the best of the Law and Order spin off's if you like Sherloke Holmes you will love lead detective Goren and his partner Eames His Watson,The only dislike is there needed to be more episodes. If you love Detecting this is a dvd set for you.

I love it. I watch Law & order when it comes on the tv. I decided to buy it because the price was excellent and I watch it every time it comes on tv.

I have watched all of the Law & Order shows/spin-offs but this is my favorite. I love Detective Goren's intricate knowledge of crimes and criminals. I enjoy the relationship between all the characters and how they bring Det. Goren's family dynamics out on the show. I bought this because I want to be sure I get to see every episode from the very beginning. When I get more money I plan to look for the remaining years as well.

I bought this because I'm a big fan of the Goren and Eames characters. I have already seen all of the episodes but wanted them to re-watch when this series is taken off the television offerings. G

Fan or not, these discs contain great drama. I had seen the entire first year when they originally aired, but didn't remember all the episodes. I recommend this set for every Law & Order fan, as well as every mystery or drama enthusiast.

I really enjoy L&O, criminal intent and will choose to watch it over most other shows. TIVO has been a great asset, but it is great to be able to watch it in an edited format, as this purchase has done. This is the reason i bought this and the third year. Also, if i have missed a show, I can catch up.
