LAW AND ORDER: SVU: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT

Year of release
1999

This is another suspenseful crime series under the NBC Law and Order banner but has become an identity in its own right as it follows a fictitious Special Victims Unit of the NYPD which specialise in investigating 'sexually-motivated' crimes.

This programme has performed well with its amazing, realistic and well-written storylines and scripts that allow us to get to know the detectives on a more personal basis. Some say that this focus on detectives of obsessive, but I feel it brings some strong character to the series.
