Season 3 (2003-2004).

Unlike the other shows in the Law & Order franchise, Criminal Intent doesn't focus only on the apprehension and prosecution of malefactors; it also shows the criminals planning, executing, and in some cases covering up their crimes. In some ways this makes Criminal Intent more interesting, because it gives the viewer more information than the investigators initially have and creates added suspense: How will the police uncover the facts and identify the perpetrator? This series concentrates on particularly complex crimes assigned to the NYPD's Major Case Squad, a crack team of experienced first-grade detectives. Vincent D'Onofrio stars as Detective Robert Goren, a brilliant and eccentric investigator with a gift for assimilating minor, seemingly insignificant details and then replicating an evildoer's thought patterns. Goren's partner is Detective Alexandra Eames (Kathryn Erbe), a no-nonsense cop whose procedural skills help keep the investigations grounded. Captain James Deakins (Jamey Sheridan) supplies bureaucratic backup, and Assistant District Attorney Ron Carver (Courtney B. Vance) lends his prosecutorial expertise to the cases whenever legal issues arise.
