Why "Law & Order" has returned, even if you didn't ask for it

"Law & Order: Original Flavor" is back, baby! Probably not, since "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" has been carrying the franchise torch following NBC's retirement of the O.G. Hugh Dancy and Odelya Halevi in "Law & Order" Joining them is fellow justice TV hall-of-famer Camryn Mannheim as the cop shop's lieutenant and "Black-ish" star Anthony Anderson playing the reasonable Det. As with all of TV shows of this ilk, the return of "Law & Order" two years after Floyd's murder doesn't mean it has modified its methods to portray policing more responsibly. Halevi is the only actor in this version of the "Law & Order" troupe whom we don't know, but she's in the company of veterans with whom we're primed to connect.
