Law & Order: Criminal Intent
Weekdays 12pm & 1pm
Groundbreaking producer Dick Wolf presides over the popular, Emmy Award-winning Law & Order franchise with Law & Order: Criminal Intent. This legal crime drama is unique among the other franchise programs in that it offers an additional dimension by exposing major crimes from the criminal's perspective. Vincent D'Onofrio stars as Det. Robert Goren, an exceptionally bright homicide investigator with well-honed instincts that match up favorably with his criminal quarry. Likewise, his partner, Det. Alexandra Eames (Kathryn Erbe), brings an independence and stylish edge to her work that meshes well in tandem with Goren.
Law & Order: Criminal Intent is a Wolf Films production in association with NBC Universal Television Studio and is Dick Wolf’s third installment of the Law and Order brand, one of the longest running drama series in the history of television. Wolf, Warren Leight and Peter Jankowski are executive producers.
