Editorial Reviews
Steven Hill returns to Law & Order: The Tenth Year for his final full season as DA Adam Schiff, the role that earned him two Primetime Emmyr Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. Joining him are series regulars Jerry Orbach, Jesse L. Martin, S. Epatha Merkerson, Sam Waterston and Angie Harmon as the men and women striving to bring justice to the streets of New York in 24 enthralling episodes, including the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit crossover, "Entitled." This season features guest stars John Heard (Entourage) and Guillermo Diaz (Weeds), and a roster of cases including a murderous rampage in Central Park, a sinister insurance scam involving Holocaust victims and an academically successful college student who is leading a double life. Television icon Dick Wolf delivers another gripping, intelligent and sometimes shocking chapter of television's longest running franchise.

Let me make it clear, straight up, that this is a review of the product, not of the show. As a huge Law & Order fan, I can say that the quality of these episodes is top-notch.
The product that NBC Universal/Universal Studios has put out though is another story.
I'm willing to ignore the lack of an episode list because I can just as easily get that online. Missing that doesn't really detract from the quality.
What I CANNOT and WILL NOT ignore is the absence of the crossover Law & Order SVU episode "Entitled - Part 1." The L&O Part 2 episode is present, but nowhere to be found is the important Part 1, DESPITE THE BACK COVER SAYING IT IS FEATURED!
When Season 9 came out, it took me a while to figure out where they had hidden the "Homicide" crossover episode. It was there, just very awkwardly placed. So before writing this review, I searched each of the five discs of Season 10 meticulously to see if I was missing something. I wasn't. It's nowhere to be found.
So why isn't it there? Copyright issues aren't a problem considering that it's the same production company. Season 1 of SVU is available on DVD, so DVD rights and issues shouldn't exist. I'm not as much of a fan of SVU, at least not enough to buy a season set just to get the one episode.
Am I sorry I bought the set? No. At Amazon's $24.99 price, it's still a steal for the quality of the episodes. But as far as I'm concerned, NBC Universal/Universal Studios owes me a disc with that SVU Episode on it.

I enjoyed each and every episode of this season. I missed Benjamin Bratt and thought he should have had a better send off in the 9th season. I loved the always direct and fearless Angie Harmon - it seems they toned down her character's behavior in this season. it did take a little getting used to in the 9th season but soon became a part of who her character was. Jack seemed to take more control in this season. As always my all-time favorite, Lenny Briscoe, is there to find any means necessary in nabbing the bad guys. Great scripts and talented actors kept this show alive, no matter how many people came and went. It would be nice to see more shows like this one instead of being overloaded with ridiculous and useless reality shows hitting the airwaves.

(Huge fan and glad I bought it - the 3 stars is only about the product, not the show.)
The big complaint in the Season 9 reviews was poor packaging/the lack of an episode list, which had me nearly downgrading it to 3 stars. OK, we all make mistakes, but there's no excuse for making the same mistake twice, so this time I have given only 3 stars. Surely Universal's well-paid marketing and sales people ought to check out the feedback on sites like this?
What adds insult to injury is that there is a paper insert with Season 10 - perfect for an episode list with summaries, which is what I thought it was at first - but it turns out just to be an ad for something or other.

Season 10 contains many engrossing and very well-written episodes, but the packaging is a rip-off. It would have cost them next to nothing to include a list of episodes, but there is none. The episodes themselves rate five stars -- but the lousy packaging only one -- making an average of three stars.

As I stated in my review of Season 9 of Law and Order, the producer should have included an episode list as was the case for the DVDs with the first 8 seasons. They have repeated their omission with Season 10. I can obtain the list on line as I did with Season 9, but the producer should have had respect for the customer and just gone the "extra mile" and added one. Having said all that I do hope they release the rest of the Law and Order the greatest TV series ever on a year by year basis with or without and episode list as I will not buy the whole set since I own the first half + Season 14 already.

Great dvd set, the only problem concerned the lack of a episode guide on the dvd case. Otherwise it was an awesome packet.

All crime series eventually decay into soap operas & this process was well under way by L&O 10. Several of the episodes were harbingers of L&O SVU which I personally loathe. Several other episodes had almost incomprehensible or utterly unconvincing plots. Slim pickings for L&O fans, but (just about) better than nothing.
The physical product was fine, the acting & direction were OK, the plots were not.

It wouldn't have hurt their bottom line to include an index with episode summaries. If they didn't want to pay for the paper version, they could have put those summaries on each disc, as was done for earlier seasons. In earlier seasons, they also included crossover episodes from Homicide: Life on the Streets, but here there is a crossover episode from Law & Order: SVU which is not included. That was extremely annoying. Many of the episodes also provided frustration, as criminals get unbelievable plea bargains, wealthy families get off (think Kennedy clone), and judges ban vital evidence. Usually EADA Jack McCoy winds up having to do some fancy footwork to try for a conviction, and he doesn't always succeed. I like ADA Abby Carmichael, though she is somewhat less compelling than in season 9; I like Det. Ed Green, though he is somewhat out of control. This season is not one of the better ones, overall. However, there are individual episodes that are quite gripping, particularly one in which insurance fraud dates back to WWII, and another in which McCoy almost succeeds in holding a gun manufacturer liable for mass murder. Note that the judge in that one gets into major trouble in a later season.

Law and Order The Tenth Year
I would like Law and Order more if the price of the DVD was less. I still miss the daily showing on TNT, but thank goodness this is available.

Episodes repeat
I am sooo unhappy right now. The first episodes repeat when you try and play the second one and when you say play all it does not. So I am missing episodes.

Law & Order Rules!
Law & Order Rules! Seasons 9-11 are the Angie Harmon Seasons, and while I've enjoyed all the seasons of this show, I love Angie Harmon as ADA Abby Carmichael.
