I've always loved SVU, because it had a variety of crimes to investigate, but the current season (20), and the one before, has them going full libtard...and you NEVER go full libtard! Pretty much every episode is about someone being raped. Olivia was always my fave, but this season she is just terrible. They had an episode that was taken from the Brett Kavanaugh sexual assault allegations, and even though the they had just started the investigation of the rape, and there was no evidence against the suspect they were interrogating, Olivia told ADA Stone that he is guilty, she can tell he did it, just by looking at him! She believed the victim with ZERO evidence against the man they arrested. Olivia is a detective, a cop, and she is supposed to believe in due process, and that a person is innocent till proven guilty. She was basically saying this suspect, this PERSON, shouldn't have the right to due process, and she doesn't care if an innocent man gets punished for a crime he might not have done. She was saying the exact same things that the Democrats were saying during the Kavanigh hearings, like we should believe all women, even if there is no evidence. I had to make myself watch this current season, after that episode. They are trying to put liberal talking points in the episodes, and sliding in things to get people to agree with the liberal agenda. I will never watch this show again. I don't care how much I loved it in the past. But it's all good, because I have something even better to watch now. I get to watch Detective Stabler in his new SyFy show, "Happy!" I loved the first season and cant wait till season 2, which should be coming on in the Spring. The first season was shown during Christmas, and the 2nd is supposed to take place at Easter. CANNOT WAIT! Stabler is much better on this show, than on SVU!

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is an awesome police crime series I known for a long time so different from Law & Order, Miami Vice, New York Undercover, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Justice. Special Victims Unit represents more sexual related crimes than any other police division. The New York City Police Department have the Special Victims Division is a lot Special Victims Unit that investigates sex crimes in all five boroughs of New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx). Law & Order: SUV is one of my long time favorite shows my family, friends and I grow up watching the series then and now. I wish hoping someday Atlanta Police Department start having a Special Victims Unit or Special Victims Division just like with New York City Police Department.
