Christopher Meloni As ‘SVU’ Character Elliot Stabler To Headline New Dick Wolf Drama Series For NBC

Seems like a very smart idea

I dunno.  Christopher Meloni's okay, but Stabler was so damaged by years of bad writing on SVU.  Plus, I'm not sure I dig the premise all that much.  He's head of an organized crime task force?  Again, I dunno.  I see Stabler working as a private investigator, totally disillusioned by his years in law enforcement.

@Khan, with the right parner [and no CERTAINLY NOT Mariska], this could be really good.  I really like Elliot and his stance on child abuse.  I also thought it was incredibly sexy when Elliot rolled up his sleeves and tucked his tie into his shirt because that meant someone was getting an ass whipping!  

 

Benson needs to stay away...FAR FAR AWAY.  I once loved Benson to the point of not wanting to watch The Closer because it felt like I was cheating.  Then Benson ate the show whole with bad decisions and help from Mariska.  Hate her!

Stabler as a private investigator would be so different and old school, and I would probably even make an effort to regularly watch it.

As far as this is actually concerned, I'm getting "Untouchables but with season-long arcs" vibes. I'll probably never watch this, but I love Christopher Meloni and hope it's a success, which it most likely will be.

Ratings were *huge last night for the SVU/OC episodes with Christopher Meloni returning.

 

*For 2021 live viewing, that is. 1.6/1.5 in 18-49, around 7.6 million total viewers in early numbers.

I admit...during the lockdown portion of the pandemic, I did develop a like for SUV (and Stabler hehe) so I can't believe that I missed it!!!

 

Good on the ratings.

Oh boy did you miss out on a fantastic series!!!

Renewed: 

 

 

I am mildly hooked to this despite myself, much to my shame. Danielle Moné Truitt is great with Meloni, as is Tamara Taylor.

SO happy with this decision. Organized Crime is a fantastic spin-off.

It is fantastic. I am totally addicted, thanks to its long-story format which allows you to invest in the characters.

Obvs they have Benson showing up with her big sad eyes every episode but its usually FF-able.

Organized Crime is fresh. But I still adore SVU.

   Surprised of the axing of Jamie Gray Hyder,  I really like her on the show. BUT I am SO GLAD that Demore Barnes is OUT.  I never liked him, he is cold, and stiff.   I am wondering who will be coming to the show to take their places in the cast.

I'm SHOCKED at Hyder's exit, as I genuinely felt like the role of Kat was such a nice change of pace for the SVU team. Barnes, on the other hand, was pointless as Christian. If anything, Christian should've been the ADA and have Carisi demoted back to SVU.

Glad Barnes is out, he was SO boring. Sad about Hyder.
