Editorial Review:
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, the hard-hitting and emotionally charged second series from the critically acclaimed Law & Order franchise, chronicles the compelling cases of the elite Special Victims Unit of the New York City Police Department. Created by Emmy Award-winning producer Dick Wolf, this award-winning series follows the investigations of Det. Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni), a seasoned, seen-it-all veteran of the unit, and his tough but compassionate partner, Det. Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), as they try to solve the city’s most heinous crimes. Directing their intense efforts is Capt. Donald Cragen (Dann Florek, reprising his Law & Order role), whose tough but supportive approach guides the entire squad - which includes Detectives John Munch (Richard Belzer) and Odafin Tutuola (Ice-T), forensic psychiatrist George Huang (B.D. Wong) and ADA Casey Novak (Diane Neal) - through the dangerous challenges they face every day.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - The Fifth Year Reviews:
Law and order SVU season 5
2009-06-24 - First box set was damaged; some episodes didn't work and the packaging was damaged
Contacted the seller and received a replacement that worked fine
Good Work by all

BEST SHOW EVER
2008-12-10 - This is a great series and has remained so. This is an offshoot of the original Law and Order series. This series focuses on sexual crimes, normally not dealt with on television. The main crimes are rape, child molestation, and everything in between. I am very glad the Law and Order series decided to tackle this once taboo topic and I believe this series has helped open the discussion of rape and sexual abuse which is one of the reasons why I love this series so much.

The acting is great, the plots are amazing and draw in you from the first "dum dum". Since it deals with sensitive subject matter, the episodes may not be appropriate for all viewers. There is high replayability with these episodes which is why it is worth the purchase. If you enjoy crime dramas, especially crime dramas that help open debate and deal with taboo topics, then this is the show for you. I guarentee you will enjoy it.

Amazing
2008-07-12 - I am 13 years old and i am completely obsessed with SVU. I cant get enough of all the stories and the characters. My personal Favorite episode is when Detective Stabler travles to Prague. It ia a great show.

Excellent!
2008-06-10 - Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - The Fifth Season slipped a little bit in terms of storylines but finished strong in the final episodes. I still enjoy watching this show, can't wait for the new season to start in the fall, this is the only Law & Order spin-off I watch, simply the best. My favorite episodes from season 5 include: Mother, Abomination, Control, Sick, and Head. If you are a fan of SVU, don't wait buy season five today!

BETTER than original Law&Order, criminal intent or trial by jury
2008-04-07 - SVU is the best investigative show. Certain episodes i can actually relate to them. And i haven't been able to deal with what i went thru, but watching those particular episodes by accident, where u never know what its storyline was about. I was facing it right there n then. It was hard, painful, and scary... But watching those episodes end nicely where the bad guys were punished, it sort of become A Closure for me, and made me move on with my life much much better. I woke up the next day, feeling much much better about being me. The demons went away. Thank You SVU.... Now i just can't wait for all their tv episodes to be on dvd, and hopefully SVU will go on and on, as long as the original Law&Order does!
