As a long-time fan of the Law & Order universe, I must admit that I was initially taken aback by the news of Law & Order: Organized Crime moving to Peacock. However, after some reflection, I find myself feeling a sense of excitement rather than disappointment.
As a long-time fan of the “Law & Order” franchise, I’m both excited and perplexed by the news that “Law & Order: Organized Crime” is moving from NBC to Peacock for its fifth season. Having grown up watching Christopher Meloni’s portrayal of Elliott Stabler on the original series, it’s a bit jarring to see him leave his longtime home on network television for a streaming platform.
Regarding the spin-off of “Organized Crime,” NBC has not yet announced which actors, apart from Meloni, will rejoin the series. However, many of the behind-the-scenes personnel are expected to stay, including John Shiban as showrunner and a team consisting of Dick Wolf, Meloni, Shiban, Paul Cabbad, Jon Cassar, Arthur Forney, and Peter Jankowski returning as executive producers. The upcoming season, Season 5, will feature ten episodes, slightly fewer than the previous renewal for Season 4. This number seems suitable for a streaming show, but no release date on Peacock has been confirmed at this time.
For enthusiasts of the series, continuing to follow Elliot’s journey will necessitate purchasing a streaming subscription. However, this also provides an advantage – more time spent with their beloved character. Yet, the question arises: why does “Law & Order: Organized Crime” seem to trail its counterparts? There could be explanations for that.
There has been some speculation as to why Organized Crime is underperforming
“Why isn’t ‘Law & Order: Organized Crime’ as popular as the other shows in the ‘Law & Order’ universe? It could be because unlike the rest of the series, it’s not straightforward for viewers to jump into watching the show from any random episode. For instance, you can follow Olivia Benson’s (Mariska Hargitay) character evolution across seasons on ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’, but each episode primarily deals with a standalone case. However, ‘Organized Crime’ centers around Elliot’s pursuit of revenge and his personal life, which necessitates following the show as a serialized storyline.”
As a long-time fan of the “Law & Order” franchise, I must say that “Organized Crime” is by far the grittiest and most intense show in their lineup. Having watched every season of these shows, I can confidently attest to the fact that this one tackles the grim topics of drug addiction and brutal murder with a raw intensity that surpasses even their other shows. It’s not for the faint-hearted, as it pushes the boundaries of what is considered acceptable in TV drama. For those who enjoy the procedural aspects of the other “Law & Order” shows, you may find yourself less enthralled with the gangland action that “Organized Crime” focuses on. But for those who can handle the grit and are willing to dive deep into the underworld, it’s an unforgettable experience.
The show ended with a major suspense, as Joe Stabler Jr., played by Michael Trotter, was handcuffed to a hazardous substance by his superior – leaving viewers eager to discover his fate. In the coming days, Peacock will continue the storyline and reveal Eliot’s brother’s destiny.
