After ‘Lost’ and ‘24′, another long running TV drama has ended. NBC’s Law & Order aired the series finale on May 24, 2010.
It was a big surprise to fans when NBC unexpectedly announced the end of the Law & Order series. After 20 season, tonight finally marks the end of the show.
Law & Order revolves around criminal investigations by the NYPD and the trials that follow. The cast of the series finale included S. Epatha Merkerson, Anthony Anderson, Jeremy Sisko, Sam Waterson, Linus Roache and Alana De La Garza. It is produced by series creator Dick Wolf.
The TV ratings for Law & Order have been slightly low for awhile but the series has remained on the air. Last week, NBC announced that a new series, Law & Order: Los Angeles, would be joining the schedule in the fall and that the original Law & Order had been canceled. Others are thinking that this might not be the last episode of Law & Order.
The finale presented the drama of the police investigation and the prosecution, with an ending that was satisfying, but sad for the avid viewers that they have to say goodbye to the crime series.
