Meloni is Meloni, and McDermott makes for a great rich-guy scumbag, so despite the generic nature of the storyline it's still a decent watch.
April 02, 2021
Meloni's patented smile-stare is as effective as ever. And the action moved with a familiar Law & Order dispatch. Much of the [premiere], however, felt generic, cursorily plotted and filled out with thin and unconvincing characters

Just like Stabler's getting accustomed to working with this team, Organized Crime is also trying out something new: more serialized storytelling.
April 02, 2021
You know, gangs, wise guys, mob bosses, in New York City. Unlike the other shows this weekend, this doesn't have many surprises.

While Meloni hasn't lost a step as the glaring, gruff and often over-the-line Elliot Stabler, the series premiere of Organized Crime was messy and frustrating, with few of the touches that identify it as a Law & Order spinoff.
April 02, 2021
Offered a far grittier series than viewers may be used to. It felt at times more like a crossover with The Sopranos than part of the Law & Order franchise.
April 02, 2021
It's a trope-y start for the new series, which leans heavily on the classic cop-out-for-revenge plotline. Moreover, despite the hyped reunion, Benson fans will be frustrated by Stabler's reticence.
April 02, 2021
Isn't "classic" L&O, but it's got an intriguing continuing storyline and two fantastic leads.
April 02, 2021
Worse, Organized Crime seems to misjudge the appeal of Law & Order altogether, and it does so in a way that only exacerbates the gap between now and the Stabler of old.
April 09, 2021
Making for a unique and fascinating entry in the Law & Order canon. It's encouraging to see a blockbuster hit series make a concerted effort to meaningfully address America's wake-up call regarding systemic racism.
