Law & Order LA “Van Nuys” was an interesting episode that featured the softer side of Detective “TJ” Jaruszalski (Corey Stoll) when he seems smitten amongst an adult cinema star who was targeted for murder. Corey Stoll is 1 of the brilliant spots of Law & Order LA in addition to this episode alone made me to a greater extent than lamentable that the exhibit has been canceled. The legal aspect of the episode was also interesting; having both DDA Morales (Alfred Molina) in addition to Dekker (Terrence Howard) is something the serial should direct hold done to a greater extent than often.

I expose myself wondering - equally I direct hold amongst the concluding few episodes – what they idea was hence incorrect amongst this episode that they couldn’t air it spell the exhibit was beingness revamped.
