Dick Wolf prepping another drama for NBC

dick wolf powerI feel like a broken record. It seems like just yesterday that I was telling you about a new drama created by Law and Order creator Dick Wolf. That one is called Conviction and it begins after the Olympics. Wolf already has another drama pilot in the works for NBC. This one is called Power, and it's actually a little different from his other four shows currently on NBC. It's not a medical drama or anything. But, he doesn't plan to wrap-up his stories at the end of each hour. This time, he's setting his story with a team of young federal task force agents and U.S. attorneys investigating Hollywood power brokers (hence, the title) on a laundry list of offenses including wiretapping and extortion. Wolf  says the popularity of series like 24 and The Sopranos show that there can be success beyond self-contained episodes. NBC hasn't greenlighted the pilot yet so it's doubtful that we'll see Power in the fall.

"In Justice" just happens to have everything that Dick Wolf hates - cops and prosecutors who don't make the Pope look error prone, heroic defense attorneys, and worst of all criminals who really didn't do it. I honestly think that the failure of "Trial By Jury" occurred because he was a little to heavy with his thesis that defense attorneys are even more evil than the scum they defend because they do it over and over again even though they know that their clients are evil.

After Trial by Jury got the 'kill me quick' Friday time slot, I wonder why they're trying again? Maybe In Justice [which I LOVE] is doing well. The previews look good, I'll check it out.
