The trial of Eddie Newman begins but the prosecution's chances of conviction are hampered by a "dream team" of defense attorneys, Gorton's personal pressures on Ross, and a surprise accusation of sexual harrassment. Curtis' relationship with Lisa also creates tension.

  • The ending to a 3 part series!!

    9.5
    "Superb"
    By PineBarrens, Sep 06, 2011
    I love this excellent ending to a 3 part series that started with D-girl. Not only does it have tons of great guest stars. Jeanene Garafalo, and Lauren Gram. It also has some major character developments, which I find awesome for Law & Order which usually has a well calabrated formula and rarely steers outside it. The new ADA jamie ross, we get some good back ground on her, as well as the current situation with Detective Curtis and his family. Of course he gets tempted by a girl again, not Jennifer Gardner this time, its Lauren Gram, both who i'd like to be tempted by!moreless

  • Lennie and Rey head out to LA in pursuit of a murder suspect. They change their theory though and arrest the victim's bitter ex-husband instead. Back in new york, Jack prosecutes him for 1st degree murder.moreless

    The LA trilogy is a perfect example of why I absolutely love L&O. They are 3 of my favorite episodes in the entire series. The writing is great too - Lennie is funny, Rey is heartbreaking, Jack is intense, and Jamie's there to give Jack a reality check every now and then.
    I love the NYC setting, but it was good for the show to get out of there for a few episodes. I liked seeing the characters in a different city and interacting with different kinds of people. I liked the whole "Rey being tempted to cheat again" subplot, too.
    These are some of the best episodes in the series and I suggest watching them if you get the chance.moreless

  • Hollywood Trilogy is a blast

    "Perfect"
    By azstraph, Jul 13, 2010
    This review basically covers all three episodes of the "Hollywood Trilogy", which spans two cities, two jurisdictions, two suspects, and three episodes. Very well written, almost like a weekly soap opera, complete with Rey's wife accusing him of having an affair with the Pretty Studio Executive, Jamie and Neal Gorton duking it out Gladiator Style in Family Court over their daughter's custody (when all he really wants to do is to distract her from the case), and commentators that are annoying Jack to no end. A highly entertaining piece of entertainment which should not be missed.moreless

  • I think the assistant who brings in all the cases and then accompanies Jack to court after Jamie "quits" is Annie Parrise, who later joins the cast as ADA Borgia.

    The grande finale to the one and only 3 part episode of Law & Order.

    I think the assistant who brings in all the cases and then accompanies Jack to court after Jamie "quits" is Annie Parrise, who later joins the cast as ADA Borgia. If it is, that is a logical promotion. I don't see her name in the cast, but don't know if she just didn't have a big enough role or if I'm seeing things. The guest stars throughout this whole 3 part series are great. Curtis' wife doesn't believe him because he has already cheated on her with Jennifer Gardner in the park in "Aftershock".moreless

    • Eddie Newman mentions that the bankable actress he had in mind for his movie instead "went on to make an asteroid movie". This presumably is meant to reference the big budgeted asteroid movies of 1997 -- like Deep Impact and Armageddon.

    • Jack McCoy: A movie about talking bears? A daring, neorealist foray into Jellystone Park? McCoy is referring to the cartoon Yogi Bear, which takes place in the fictional Jellystone Park- a parody of the real-life Yellowstone Park.

    • This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of the O.J. Simpson case.
