What Season 21 of Law & Order

Season 21 of Law & Order opens with Bernard and Cosgrove, two newly paired detectives, and prosecutors Price and Maroun. Each episode follows the series' usual pattern: officers search for clues on the street, and lawyers bring the evidence before a court. The cases are varied, from a web of deception at a tech company to the disappearance of a social media star. Disagreements within the district attorney's office emerge over how to handle each case, and a victim's family's wishes clash with the prosecutors' decisions. The season focuses on the work of its characters, barely pausing over their personal lives.
