Since it first premiered in 1990, Law & Order has been a fan-favorite series known for its ripped-from-the headlines plotlines that pose complex ethical and moral dilemmas.
Season 23 saw one of the series' biggest shake-ups to date as long-running District Attorney Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) resigned from office after delivering one final courtroom win. In true McCoy fashion, the seasoned prosecutor decided not to seek re-election after a high profile case put him at odds with the mayor and he wanted to limit the fallout for others at the DA’s office.
Baxter was appointed to the DA post and encountered a staff who were, in some ways, still loyal to McCoy and his ideology. The politically-connected new district attorney made it clear from the start that he had his own way of doing things and wasn’t looking to replicate McCoy’s style.
Baxter’s own future at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office came into question in the Season 23 finale, when his decision to put his adult daughter on the stand in a difficult case against a known gang member exposed a family secret and threatened his chances of winning the election.

Meanwhile, over at the 27th Precinct, Detective Vincent Riley (Reid Scott) spent the season on a path of redemption after coming off a six-month suspension for punching a police captain while drinking on the job. Fans learned it wasn’t as bad as it sounds, however, after Lieutenant Kate Dixon (Camryn Manheim) explained that Riley had been defending her honor after the captain made an offensive comment about her.
Riley had also been caring for his dying father and dealing with the fallout from his imploding marriage at the time of the punch, which only left him feeling more on edge when the captain made the distasteful remark.
These Season 23 episodes and more are now available on Peacock.
