Law & Order: Criminal Intent is an American police procedural drama
television series set in New York City, where it was also primarily
produced. Created and produced by Dick Wolf and René Balcer, the
series premiered on September 30, 2001, as the third series in Wolf's
successful Law & Order franchise. Criminal Intent focuses on the
investigations of the Major Case Squad in a fictionalized version of
the New York City Police Department set in New York City's One Police
Plaza. In the style of the original Law & Order, episodes are often
"ripped from the headlines" or loosely based on a real crime that
received media attention.The series aired on NBC for the first six
seasons but was moved to the NBCUniversal-owned USA Network starting
with the seventh season to share costs and due to declining ratings.
During its NBC run, each episode aired on USA the week after its
original NBC airing. The 10th and final season premiered on Sunday,
May 1, 2011, at 9 p.m. EDT with original cast members Vincent
D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe starring as Detectives Robert Goren and
Alexandra Eames, respectively, and featuring Jay O. Sanders as Captain
Joseph Hannah. The series ended on June 26, 2011, after 10 seasons
comprising 195 episodes.Criminal Intent follows The NYPD Manhattan
"Major Case Squad", a force of detectives who investigate high-profile
cases (in most cases, murder, kidnappings or major robberies), such as
those involving VIPs, local government officials and employees, the
financial industry, and the art world.
