Law and Order: A.D.A. for the Defense
Rubirosa Takes a Walk on the Wild Side
After eighteen years of crimes committed on the streets and legal maneuvers in the courtroom, Law & Order is hot, hot, super hot. If you can’t understand why devoted viewers are continually praising the NBC series’ smoking hotness these days, take a look at the following events from last night’s episode “Strike.”
Competent, compassionate, and highly intelligent Assistant District Attorney Connie Rubirosa (CSI: Miami import Alana De La Garza) is ambushed in court by a knowledgeable defendant and forced to cross over to the defense side. As a result, she’s pitted against her cunning boss, Executive A.D.A. Michael Cutter (Linus Roache), whom she would normally assist.
The unexpected drama doesn’t end there, however, because after her side of the table switches, Rubirosa learns a shocking secret that upends her view not only of the specific case, but of the legal field as a whole.
Believe me — if you’ve lost faith in the L&O franchise’s original show recently, now is the time to return to the mothership. The writing, the acting, and the cast are all in top shape, making the long-running series the one to watch among the three flavors currently airing.
