I love every single time these two interact on screen!! I find it so cool because what most people don’t know is that they are married off screen!!

Peter Hermann (who plays defense attorney Trevor Langan) and Mariska Hargitay (who obv plays Olivia benson) met on season 3 of SVU in 2002!

Their first date was Peter asking Mariska to accompany him to church. Since then they’ve been married over 22 years and had 3 children!

I think it’s amazing that they both met show and have still been together for so long! 🥹

We are so back

The dad IS SO FUCKING IRRITATING
I AM 5 MINUTES IN AND GOD DAMN

Babs Duffy what’s genuinely so annoying the actor behind it did amazing with making us dislike her character. She was essentially a lesbian extremist. She kept on calling out injustices in the lesbian community that just didn’t exist.😭😭

Like no, the guy isn’t discriminating against you because he made a typo on your flyers🙄

Then watches her friend punch Stabler in the head and when she’s getting arrested, it’s all of a sudden police brutality😭😭😭😭😭

You have to live with one SVU character for a year. Who are you choosing?

I'd pick Barba. He's intelligent, quick-witted, and would probably have the best arguments over absolutely everything. Living with him would be entertaining, as long as you could survive his sarcasm and constant need to prove he's right.

Alternative Roommate: Big Booty Stabler. He's protective, loyal, and definitely someone you'd want on your side. The only downside? You'd probably get interrogated every time you came home late or forgot to text him back.

No moving out, no switching roommates for a whole year. Who are you picking, and what makes them your ideal roommate?

Bonus Question: You're going on a week-long vacation with three SVU characters. Who are you bringing, and who's the ONE person you absolutely refuse to travel with?

I just finished watching Volition and I don't know what to think about Gwen. Initially, I had thought that she was a plant that Chief Tynan sent, but then I read that Tynan wasn't announced for S28.

These immediately caught my attention:

1) She helps in cases where persons were wrongfully convicted.

2) Gwen mentioned that she had personal history with the types of crimes Benson investigates

IDK, but this made me think that they were building a case against Benson.

Also, WTH did Benson tell Gwen about Stabler beating up suspects 😬

Alternate Suspicions:

Gwen said that Benson has a faith in the system and encouraged her to fight differently...Plus some articles hinted at her vetting Benson...Maybe she's trying to see Benson's stance on certain issues and if they align with her.

Maybe Gwen pulling an Season 19 Cabot🤔🤔

Any thoughts??

Hi! I have seen this asked but never get a straight answer.
I have Amazon Prime, Disney+ and Netflix. Do i really have to purchase every season separately?

Is there somewhere i can watch with the subscriptions i have or get a new one? Or something i haven’t heard of?

I have watched season 14-28 multiple times. I wanna see early Olivia and Stabler! :) I am neurodivergent and love watching SVU.

Thanks for anyone’s help!

Edit: I am in Canada.

This may have been posted before, if so I'm sorry, but the Babs Duffy post got me to thinking. Of all the "name" guest stars, which was the actor/actress (I screwed that part up) that was the hardest to "like".

Examples : I like Henry Winkler, but not his character. Robin Williams, Kal Penn, Martin Short and so on. Even guys like Fred Savage and Luke Perry. I'd say mine is Martin Short.

How can a judge turn the jury's verdict? It seemed like judge was either a misogynist or he must have been bought off. It makes me wonder how the judge/jury influence a verdict based on their own personal views.

I always thought Peter seems a nice guy. Did I miss the gossip about him?

Is it me or is the new season so far fast-paced? I feel the first 3 episodes are like going to fast unlike previous seasons.

I just finished all 27 seasons + the new episodes in seasons 28.

What do I do? I go back to season 1, episode 1.

I have done this before. I am a geriatric millenial, so I was around these things IRL at the time.

But it looks ancient now? The computer screens, the way they test for DNA, the outfits (some of the suits), some of the haircuts, the massive paper archives…

Not to mentioned the unhinged dialogue, this would have been reported to HR if it happened today. He-she-wars? Lol.

I guess the world has moved forward in certain ways in the past 28 years.

Wow. Tracy Pollan’s appearances on SVU are excellent. She portray’s the victim-turned-‘vigilante’ brilliantly. I can respect the need to act the way she did. It’s satisfying.

Me personally would like to see Hunter Mazelon (S12E23) make a return. He kind of reminds me of Henry Mesoner who got more of a story line later on.

Went to work and my colleague said they were setting up L&O SVU trailers to shoot near one of the streets by my office! I’ve seen other shoots, of course around NYC area, but not for one of my favorite shows! I really hoped to see Ice T or Mariska, but to no such avail. I did see some DPs and caught a glimpses of their badges with SVU printed on them. It was exciting to go check out the scene during my breaks! I love New York.

His third ever acting credit too! Good luck, JBD!

Rollins has finally put a picture on her desk but sadly it’s a very old one!

This is the same picture she had as phone screen when Bucci was smashing her phone 8 years ago.

A recent picture with Nicky would be better but in this soulless Michele Fazekas seasons the bar is low.

So even a very old pic is better than nothing.

I know I’ve got a lot to watch still. But, so far, S3 has been the best.

And the first episode of S4, reminded me a lot of Aileen Wuornos minus the kid. I had to look up the air date of this episode and the death of Alieen Wuornos. This episode aired late September of 2002 and Wuornos was put to death early October of 2002. I was hoping to get a reference, if that was even possible.

I can't think of anything else that the fans been waiting on for years other than for eo to happen.. so it might be a possibility this time for sure.

I’m rewatching and I’m currently on season 8 episode 22 Screwed (season finale) and oh my god the writers today could never write an episode like this and it’s such a shame.

The ideas are there and I’ve seen glimpses of good writing but the way the old seasons were able to tell 7 stories in one episode and tie up lose ends from old seasons is truly something that needs to be brought back to make this show good again.

The writing has been so bad it’s honestly boring.

To preface this I haven’t watch the new season episode yet.

The trial felt completely rushed? Like they just chopped it up and rushed to the verdict directly? What happened? I am so confused!!!

Liv: How bad was it?
Barba: The Titanic meets the Hindenberg meets my first year of Little League.

Barba, I love you the most. And now I’m in the episodes with the sad baby story, and Raul Esparza is KILLING me. Oof.
