Law & Order: SVU is one of the longest-running and most successful procedurals on television. The Special Victims Unit, led by Captain Olivia Benson , navigates the especially heinous cases of sex crimes. Since its premiere in 1999, SVU has changed the way we approach these topics, and as times change, the show has as well.
9 Season 1 No. of Episodes: 22 When it was first announced that there would be a spin-off of the original Law & Order, fans were naturally skeptical, so SVU had to prove it was here to stay right off the bat. Season 1 isn’t bad by any means, but it suffers a bit because it hasn’t yet found its groove or its voice.
7 Season 15 No. of Episodes: 24 Season 15 is a change of pace for SVU and one that many fans remember as one of the heaviest seasons of the series. Rather than continuing with the “case of the week” format they’ve been following since the show began in 1999, Season 15 shifts focus and puts one specific case at the forefront of the season. That case is none other than William Lewis .
5 Season 9 No. of Episodes: 19 Season 9 brought a new detective to the SVU team with Chester Lake , who was paired with Fin Tutuola . Lake wasn’t a bad character, but he just didn’t fit in with the rest of the squad quite as well as one would have hoped, and he didn’t have the same amount of chemistry with Fin that Munch always did which was also a bit of a letdown.
