Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Audience Reviews

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

knowlesy82 Ok let's start by saying I use to love this show. However this new season that has come out 2017/2018 is absolutely ridiculous. It has so many political views and bs left/right motivation in it that it has lost me as a viewer. I don't even live in America, I'm Australian, I enjoyed it for what it was. "Law" and "Order" I enjoyed seeing the crime and then the person hopefully being punished for it. Now though, well according to the last episode I watched. 2/2/18. It would appear it has gone all political. I understand keeping with the times but its a law and order show, none of that stuff needs to be in it. Show some sort of rape/abuse etc and then the investigation and court proceedings like you have been doing since 1999, why bring all this alt left, alt right bs into now??? Personally I recommend skip anything new from this show and just go back to the original episodes where it was about the crime and solving it, not trying to push an agenda into your minds that in reality no one really cares about.

leonegrao When a show loses the main chemistry, it's not easy to go back to how it was. The right thing to do is try, and if the new plan doesn't work, give up. Unfortunately, SVU still tries things that were already done a long time ago, done better.The main problem with the show started when they lost their main character, the partner of Det. Olivia Benson. They tried several times to recreate that chemistry, but they failed. So, the new strategy was to focus on Olivia.Now the show is completely different from what it was ten years ago. Back then, it was a show about police cases with a little bit of background stories for the detectives. Today, the show puts the cases in second plan and focus too much on the detectives. I'm tired of watching Olivia, or those other characters with weak stories. I'm also tired of the cases that are so predictable. All of the Law & Orders had a very basic plot: a crime happens, the detectives go see the crime scene, the investigation starts with a very good suspect, some other suspects are shown and they find the guy, but then, in a plot-twist they find out that the one who did it was the first suspect all along. Now, when you do that for almost 20 years, even a kid can find out how the story ends. And there's only a limited number of ways to rape and hurt women and children.If anybody wants to watch this, go to the first seasons, they're amazing. Since 2012, the show turned into a circus, it's everywhere and too much is happening for us to actually care.

pauldoren She's the executive producer, and now the "executive actor." She dominates every plot, every action, every aspect of the show. The rest of the cast has been reduced to less than minor roles. Moreover, this ruins the show's previous "police accuracy." "Cragen" ran the unit; Benson runs the unit, personally conducts the investigation and interviews, makes the arrest. Too much. The show needs to restore its balance.

angeljs-1 This show could have easily been offensive and insensitive, but the stories are handled very well. I would say that it appears to be quite realistic; some of the victims are bad in themselves, or just plain idiots. Sometimes the outcomes of the cases are not what you would expect, but that's true in real-life, too. Sometimes the bad guys win, sometimes you are never quite sure if the defendant is actually guilty or not. Sometimes even the police and the judges are the bad guys!The show could be tough and upsetting viewing for particularly sensitive people, so I would use discretion before watching. However, although it appears to highlight flaws within the justice system, it shows what an uphill, unbeatable slog they go through to try and bring that justice to deserving victims. Whatever your opinion, the show is certainly gripping and one of my favourites.
