How well do you know “Law and Order”?

The television series “Law and Order” ran for twenty seasons (13 Sep 1990 – 24 May 2010), a total of 456 episodes. It spawned a bunch of spin-offs including one set in the UK. A crime drama, the show was divided into two parts. In the first half it focused on the police catching the criminal while the second half focused on the trial. Known for its grittiness, the show was also known for its excellent writing. The plots were often “ripped from the headlines” meaning they were based on real incidents.
