Law and Order SVU =] November 25, 2009

There are many crime shows on TV today. I would have to say some of the most successful law shows would have to be the Law and Order series by Dick Wolf. My personal favorite of the Law and Order series would have to be Law and Order Special Victims Unit (SVU). Law and Order SVU has been on the air since September 1999. They are currently in their 11th season. The show is designed to show what real life detectives go through on a daily basis. Their jobs are not always glamorous and the job most of the time is really dangerous. But it is a job that someone has to do and I think that Dick Wolf has done an excellent job of showing just that. The show is based in New York. The show acts out some high profile crime cases and other fictional cases. The shows leading actors are Christopher Meloni who plays detective Elliot Stabler and Mariska Hargitay who plays detective Olivia Benson. These two detectives have had many interesting cases throughout the years. Some of which have been really dangerous but most of the cases are really rewarding in the end. Crime is not pretty and the show does a great job of showing how the legal system works.
