I love the L&O spin offs--they eclipse the original

I started off loving SVU and not finding CI all that interesting... then I ran out of SVUs to watch, so I started watching CI from the beginning on Netflix...and I realized that it is an amazing show as well. Both are interesting, intricate, witty and well written. My only complaint is that I cannot find more links to CI seasons 6 & 7. I have a bit of a crush on Detective Goren. :)
