r/SVU

Has anyone watched Season 1 through Season 27. If so which are your favorite characters or favorite episodes?

Season 10, episode 19 "Selfish." What did you think of her performance?

Am I the only one who feels carisi was being a terrible person in this episode? Trying hard to get deonte the highest punishment possible when if not for him carisi would be dead? I'm not denying deonte deserved prison but carisi spends all of episode 8 telling him he'll help him only to do his best to destroy him. Telling him to shoot Boyd and that it will be self defense only to try to get him the max punishment? It's like he forgets that Boyd would have shot him in the back of the head if deonte hadn't stopped him and shot him

Do yall think they will ever show us Carisi adopting the girls officially? Do you think he already adopted them off camera or do you think he will ever adopt them whether it’s on or off camera? I’m surprised they haven’t done that yet or at the least mentioned it especially if he did already adopt them off camera.

What was the problem the Chief has/had with Benson? Why did she have it out for her?

Is it just me or does this episode seem gaslighting? why were they shocked that the DA wanted to charge this case as a hate crime, the only reason they attacked that person was because she was trans. (what else could it possibly be but a hate crime?) why do Darius and the mom find it unfair that the friends just get probation? hes literally the one that first approached (there was no peer pressure even needed) and the one that pushed them off the bridge. Their excuse is that he's a good kid.

A "good kid" would never physically attack someone else unprovoked, and if he felt he needed to prove a point, why didn't he just yell an insult. how is he so different from a "bad kid"? what, because he draws, goes to the library and has a kind mother.

They say it's unfair that he is being tried in court because "he is just a kid", but the person that lost their life was also just a kid, that was just minding their business doing photography. the only good kid was the trans victim and family that wanted to protect darius's future despite the tragedy.

I don't get it, help me understand what I'm missing please.

Stabler: She's not going to be happy till she kills me

Me: that is true

Edit: oh my god stabler nearly died again cause of her

Quick rant.

While i love SVU as a whole this episode felt drastically underwritten for a final. The premise and first two act...incredible. I hated the guy. But the final third felt like it was written by an intern covering sick leave. Rushed. Why not just make it a bumper episode for the season finale. Let us see this man squirm in court.

I enjoyed it well enough. Definately more "background noise" than fully paying attention, though that could be a symptom of binging and I accept that. The cases have a little diversity despite all being sex crimes and the discussions it sparks with my husband are great! Honestly I'm more fond of the background characters than the main cast at the moment, but I'm feeling them grow on me (seriously where did they get those extras? Acting their hearts out for a 20 second scene, I love the passion).

Probably about a 5.8/10 for me. A bit above average, but nothing really makes me want to chose it over something like Psych or Crimminal Minds other than the heavier tone and the fact that there's a billion more episodes to watch.

A little over a year ago I had a breakup and started watching SVU. I’m finally all caught up (I could’ve totally finished sooner had I not been watching so many other things). It’s bittersweet, really. I feel for the version of me that I was when I first started watching. SVU is a lot for different people but this show’s definitely a reminder of what I can bring myself through. I love SVU🥹

>!It's irresponsible for Benson to not turn Tynan in. She should ruin her career, the woman crossed the line at least once, she's a bad cop. How many other times has she done that? She has retaliated against several officers for not falling into line already, how many others has she arbitrarily punished in other departments? This is why a lot of people use ACAB, because the good cops don't turn in the bad ones. !>

Warner is my favourite all the time but in this episode specifically, I genuinely think she’s amazing.

She’s canonically a combat veteran, served in Desert Storm, but takes a very staunch stance against torture, or “advanced interrogation”, as a tactic to gain information even when people are telling her why it’s necessary.

I also love the way she said that the Hippocratic Oath is really that simple, because it is. The whole episode is full of justification but I love how upset she is at a doctor of all people doing this.

I like this episode for how it handles advanced interrogation anyway, especially the scene where it is literally just people describing it directly into the camera. I think it’s one of those topics we should never use euphemisms for. But Warner is the character who gets upset at Huang for suggesting it’s not that simple, pushes for the doctor to be put on trial, and right at the end, still works with that doctor anyway in the interest of the man having a heart attack.

Media in general has a habit of justifyingtorture when the “good guys” are doing it (and yes, that includes Stabler getting physicalwith people), but the way this episode treats it all, to the point of showing actual pictures from Abu Ghraib, has got to be one of the best commentaries on torture as a tactic I’ve watched, especially considering when it was first aired.

I love Warner, and I love how she makes absolutely no justification for “the greater good” in any way. She’s very insistent about it right from the start, which I really like.

(By the way, torture is literally never an effective information gathering tactic, because anyone will say anything to make the pain stop).

I really love the Show but since it's nowhere really fully released. Netflix offers Season 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11. RTL offers only Season 1 and Disney+ only offers 14, 15, 16 and 17. I'm kinda hopping around. So far I watched Season 6, 14, 15, 16, and finishing atm 17. I kinda wanna watch everything (legally in best case) and I wanted to know if someone got an idea how to do it? I would prefer to watch the Show in German but English would be okay too.
