Law & Order UK

Last night, I saw my first episode of “Law & Order: UK.” The episode was “Sacrifice,” which was based on the season 1 episode,"“Sonata For Solo Organ” of the original “Law & Order.” Are all the episode filmed so disjointed? I maybe biased from 20 years of viewing the original, but the UK version just seemed rough and rushed with the storyline. Are all the episodes this way or was this just a bad adaption from US to UK circumstances?
