The newest addition to the Law & Order brand, "Law & Order: Los Angeles" fuses classic ripped-from-the-headlines storytelling with the distinctive backdrop of LA - delving into the unique attitudes, cultures and crimes of the West Coast.

The drama follows Detectives Rex Winters and Tomas "TJ" Jarusalski as they pursue cases through the diverse City of Angels. As members of the Los Angeles Police Department's elite Robbery Homicide Division, Winters is a straight-shooting ex-Marine with a clear-cut worldview as stubborn as he is, while TJ, who grew up the son of an Oscar-winning Polish cinematographer, knows too well the dark underside that is behind-the-scenes Hollywood.

Deputy District Attorney Morales is a sarcastic realist who believes moral righteousness is great in theory, but ineffective in a street fight. Though he knows how to manipulate both his public image and the behind-the-scenes politics, he's still a killer in the courtroom who lives to see justice served.

my take
With the closing of the L&O mothership after 20 seasons, NBC gives us a new, west coast edition of L&O. I like the casting and the fact its slot (Law & Order's old one) has two other new shows gives LOLA a leg up on name recognition alone. I expect it to be one of the top two new shows of the season. The season's Sure Thing.
