Christopher Meloni as Elliot Stabler in Law & Order: SVU
The Big Picture With 25 years under its belt, Law & Order: SVU has made television history by being the longest-running police procedural, and in those 25 years, it has gone through many changes, some for the better, some for the worse. But ultimately, the series has stayed just as engaging, prevalent, and important now as it was when it aired back in 1999.
Elliot is a passionate guy, which bodes well for the job, but that passion often comes out in a brutal fashion. In nearly every episode, he slams a perp against the wall or yells in their faces. And yeah, maybe it’s a scare tactic, and maybe his anger is understandable with the more heinous cases. But it often borders on police brutality, which is an especially hefty topic. To make matters worse, no one in the bureau stops him from doing it.
The moments that we see Elliot let his guard down help to offer more insight into who he is as a character. A lot of Elliot’s anger seems to be hereditary, as we learn that his father was a crooked cop and not the kindest man, being both physically and emotionally abusive to Elliot as he was growing up. So Elliot tends to carry a lot of that childhood trauma with him, and it often comes through on the job, whether he means for it to happen or not.
