Solution

The correct answer is "Law & Order". The Eumenides, the last play in Aeschylus's Oresteia trilogy, is a courtroom drama involving the trial of Orestes, who is accused of murdering his mother. This can be seen as an ancient forerunner to the television show "Law & Order", which also revolves around legal proceedings and trials.
