And yet it's better than 98% of the bull that networks keep trying to pedal. SVU has never lacked quality control.

Maybe we'll finally get Law & Order: Hate Crimes now.

I'm surprised we haven't gotten it BEFORE now.

Before too long, we'll probably get "Law & Order: Citizens on Patrol."

I mean, it was in development for NBC, then got moved over to Peacock and then sidelined when Law & Order: Organized Crime happened. I guess with the current administration they wouldn't revive the idea, but it's certainly something Dick Wolf has already pitched.

I did see the first two seasons of Organized Crime on Peacock. I didn't like that series, at all. I don't have Peacock anymore so I haven't seen it recently.

I have watched every recent episode of SVU, in order, for the past 7 or 8 years. And I think I binged the prior 2 or 3 seasons back when I had both Peacock and Hulu.
I'm grateful that, even without Peacock, I can watch SVU on nbc.com eight days after broadcast.

But I haven't watched consecutive episodes older than the past 10 or 11 years.

So I didn't see the first 15 years of SVU when the episodes first aired. I've seen occasional old reruns of SVU that air on random cable marathons on BBC, Sundance, Ion, and USA channels. I don't have Peacock or Hulu, so I can't go back and watch the old stuff in order.

Regarding Elliot Stabler: I've seen Stabler in SVU reruns but only occasionally, and I've seen Stabler on O.C.

The bottom line is that I never saw the ongoing day-to-day "Benson/Stabler" partnership in episode order.

This may be an unpopular opinion? But (from what I've seen), I didn't care for the character of Stabler.

I know some viewers have stated on social media that they ship Olivia/Stabler, which is fine if you like that. But I just cannot ship them as lovers, at all, just no to that. I don't mind them as friends and professional colleagues. But I don't want them as lovers. Maybe that's just me, but it's how I feel.

I mean, maybe if I'd seen them working together every week for years, I might feel differently, but I doubt it. I just think Olivia deserves a better person for a romantic relationship.

Trust me, @janea4old , you aren't alone (and I watched SVU from the beginning, lol).
