''Law & Order: Criminal Intent'' is an American police procedural television drama series set in New York City, where it was also primarily produced. Created and produced by Dick Wolf and René Balcer, the series premiered on September 30, 2001, as the second spin-off of Wolf's successful crime drama ''Law & Order''. ''Criminal Intent'' focuses on the investigations of the Major Case Squad in a fictionalized version of the New York City Police Department set in New York City's One Police Plaza. In the style of the original ''Law & Order'', episodes are often "ripped from the headlines" or loosely based on a real crime that received media attention. The series aired on NBC for the first six seasons but was moved to the NBCUniversal-owned USA Network starting with the seventh season to share costs and due to declining ratings. During its NBC run, each episode aired on USA the week after its original NBC airing. The 10th and final season premiered on Sunday, May 1, 2011, at 9 p.m. EDT with original cast members Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe starring as Detectives Robert Goren and Alexandra Eames, respectively, and featuring Jay O. Sanders as Captain Joseph Hannah. The series ended on June 26, 2011, after 10 seasons comprising 195 episodes. ==Premise== ''Criminal Intent'' follows a division of the New York City Police Department, the "Major Case Squad". The Major Case Squad investigates high-profile cases (in most cases, murder) such as those involving VIPs, local government officials and employees, the financial industry, and the art world. Unlike the other shows in the ''Law & Order'' franchise, during Seasons 5–8, ''Criminal Intent'' episodes typically alternated between two teams of detectives: Robert Goren and Alexandra Eames alternating with veteran Detective Mike Logan and his partners, Carolyn Barek, Donald Cragen, and Nola Falacci; after Season 7, Mike Logan retired from the NYPD and was replaced with Detective Zack Nichols. The series pays attention to the actions and motives of the criminals, rather than focusing exclusively on the police and prosecutions. A feature of each ''Criminal Intent'' episode is that the cold open always involves a series of cut-scenes that show events from the suspects' and victims' lives, leading up to the crime. Clues to the crime's eventual solution can often be found in this teaser sequence. Unlike other ''Law & Order'' series, most ''Criminal Intent'' episodes end in confessions rather than continuing to the trial phase. The UK-aired version of ''Law & Order: Criminal Intent'' features the song "There's Only Me" by Rob Dougan in the opening credits. Another Rob Dougan track, "I'm Not Driving Anymore", is used as the theme for ''Law & Order''〔 〕〔 〕 and ''Law & Order: Special Victims Unit''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Law & Order: Criminal Intent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
