law & order: criminal intent (season 1)
laura fries of "variety" commented on the difference between this series and "law & order" and "": "by scrutinizing motive and intent, "criminal intent" utilizes a more personal style that sets it apart from its brethren. wolf's characters are notoriously devoid of detailed personal lives, but debut [episode] hints at a little more introspection on the part of the characters". in "entertainment weekly", ken tucker wrote that "law & order: criminal intent" was the best series of the year from the "law & order" franchise and that while "law & order" suffered from tired, wooden performances from actors with poor chemistry, the acting on "law & order: criminal intent" was at "the other end of the spectrum." both writers commented on the overpowering screen presence that d'onofrio commands in the first episode: ""criminal intent" so far is a one-man show with vincent d'onofrio at its center. [he] commands the most attention, tending to overshadow erbe, who is reduced in the pilot to following goren with an awe-struck look," wrote fries, while tucker also stated, "d'onofrio is so eccentrically entertaining, even his costar kathryn erbe seems fascinated", but complained that erbe's role was smaller than d'onofrio's, which "jibes with the subtle range she showed on [hbo's] "oz" and proves her professional generosity." he also said sheridan "is similarly nonplussed and under-utilized," but "vance is terrific [as carver], who makes defendants wither in the face of his elegantly reasoned cross-examinations."
