Law & Order: Criminal Intent - The Fifth Year (DVD, 2010, 5-Disc Set)

Megaproducer Dick Wolf's second LAW & ORDER spinoff, LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT, debuted in late September 2001 to spectacular ratings, and like its parent series, ran for years thereafter. The program follows the doings of the "Major Case Squad," a cadre of detectives employed for a division of the New York Police Department who spend their time honing in exclusively on high-profile cases (usually homicide cases) involving noted public figures such as government officials, financial wheeler-dealers and celebrities in the art world. This particular set features all 22 episodes from Season Five (2005-6), with regular cast members including Vincent D'Onofrio, Kathryn Erbe, Courtney B. Vance and Annabella Sciorra, and guest stars including Whoopi Goldberg and Malcolm McDowell.
