Thursday night’s premiere of “Law & Order: Organized Crime” on NBC — the first new “Law & Order” series since “True Crime” in 2017 — presented a number of questions. It’s a little over the top — “vicious,” “violent,” “hunted” — but as obligatory “Law & Order” introductions go, it gets points for brevity. The echo of “In New York City,” from the opening of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” the show that, in its 22nd season, has spun off “Organized Crime,” is a nice touch. In the interrogation room, the more peaceable Benson had to restrain Stabler, as always. Later, when he was the target of a drive-by shooter, Stabler pulled his gun and took aim but didn’t take the shot.
