...but still hears DUN DUN in her dreams.

In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered
especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate
these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special
Victims Unit. These are their stories.

I love cop shows. Its always been a weakness of mine. I started life off wanting to be a cop until i realized i can make more money in the Law part then the Order.

I recently started watching SVU(which takes place in Manhattan/New York City)It stars Chris Meloni as Det.Elliot Stabler who works with Det.Olivia Benson who is played by the lovely and talented Mariska Hargitay. They comprise the core Det. of the Special Victims Unit. It deals with Rape,Child Molestation,Murder with sexual circumstances and any Child porn case. This squad is a real squad that each NYC county has but they do not deal with murder or Child porn(they have other squads that do that) Other Detectives include: Det. Munch (from Homicide played by Richard Belzer) Det. Odafin "Fin" Tutuola (Ice-T) Capt. Cragen (Dan Florek) and even a Forensic Psychologist in Dr. Huang (played by BD wong)That's two cast members from OZ (Meloni and Wong) and there were two more (JK Simmons and Dean Winters) but they are gone now. I loved OZ -it was a bitchin show that left nothing to the imagination. Possibly the reason why i like this show.Not saying rape and child molestation is cool or makes good TV. You just sympathize with the victim more? I don't know- perhaps after hearing several stories on L& O proper( may Jerry Orbach RIP) sometimes people are nasty assholes and "deserve" to die? (I don't condone murder)

I also like watching because:

a. Oz cast members.

b. Resident Forensic Psychologist.

c. Same cast members for 10 yrs.(shows been on since '99)

d. Interesting approach to the subject.

e. Only 70% of the time i can actually figure out who did it.

SO yea i Tivo it. And there's always like 100 episodes on everyday. Half my Tivo list is L&O SVU. I am gonna overload.
