So far, the L&O recipe has worked successfully on his Chicago trilogy, especially since he added some serialization. As John Jurgensen points out, "In the Law & Order universe, characters from one show rarely ventured into another. But characters in the Chicago shows now cross-pollinate in almost every episode, an interplay that periodically builds to bigger programming stunts. With shows that buttress each other, the producers hope to create a shared audience and ratings stronghold.” PLUS: Chicago Med is a faint echo of better hospital procedurals it owes its existence to.
