Look, L&O creators (and all you others), it's not that courtroom drama is overdone, it's just that it's... overdone. And you were responsible for a large part of that - there are already L&O, L&O: SVU, L&O: CI (which is, in my opinion, inexcusable in its very being), L&O: Crime and Punishment, and L&O: Trial by Jury. We do not need another one.
Britain especially doesn't need this, because dammit, Britain gave us Rumpole of the Bailey, and that, by God, is a thing to celebrate. There is no need for a pale knock-off of a neurotic and earnest U.S. prosecutor when you have Leo McKern to regale you with his cross-examination speeches, blunt cantankerousness, and frumpy decadence.
