For anyone who has seen the last 4 seasons of Law and Order: SVU, know what I mean when I say this is the last classic season of the show.
From season 6 and on, the show has dealt with, divorces, the "will they or won't they" quiestion of the Benson/Stabler romance, choosing partners over civilians, FBI agent and possible love interest of Benson, and more recently, baby drama. They'll be little of that in the season 4 box set of SVU. This season follows the protocol of seasons 1-3, which is very little character growth and little to no romantic moments between any of the characters, save episode 12, Risk, in which the characters go undercover and there is a few brief romantic moments between Benson/Stabler.
Now please, do not get me wrong, while this season contains the few elements of the recent episodes, this is still a wonderful season, filled with character driven plots, very memorable episodes, as well as little known gems. Such as the one I mentioned above "Risk" One of the more famous SVU episodes in which the team deals with a drug dealer, and has every member go undercover. Another memorable episode is "Futility" (Or the episode commonly known among fans as 'the one where Fred Savage hits Olivia') And another wonderful episode, and my first ever episode ever in the history of this show, is "Damaged" where a 16 year old sociopath and her sister are involved in a shootout, but the circumstances aren't as clear cut as it may seem.
All in all this is a wonderful season, one which I encourage any SVU fan to buy, and all family and friends of an SVU fanatic to buy seeing how this box set goes on sale December 4th, just in time for the Holidays.

This is one of the great seasons of SVU! Remember the good old times before it all went downhill? When the writing was still focused and superb, the drama was in the cases, nobody's wardrobe made you laugh, and smart-is-sexy Alex Cabot was the ADA? These DVDs bring them back - at their best. Featuring such much-beloved episodes as "Fallacy," this DVD-box is a must for any SVU fan, and anyone wanting to meet the coolest member of the "law and order"-family, before it lost its heart and mind.

This is a great series and has remained so. This is an offshoot of the original Law and Order series. This series focuses on sexual crimes, normally not dealt with on television. The main crimes are rape, child molestation, and everything in between. I am very glad the Law and Order series decided to tackle this once taboo topic and I believe this series has helped open the discussion of rape and sexual abuse which is one of the reasons why I love this series so much.

The acting is great, the plots are amazing and draw in you from the first "dum dum". Since it deals with sensitive subject matter, the episodes may not be appropriate for all viewers. There is high replayability with these episodes which is why it is worth the purchase. If you enjoy crime dramas, especially crime dramas that help open debate and deal with taboo topics, then this is the show for you. I guarentee you will enjoy it.

I enjoy the show and am pleased that it is out on DVD. I think the show offers a unique perspective and asks open-ended questions. The DVD's are burned on both sides which reduces the amount of packaging and makes storage easier.

I love the show Law and Order SVU and wanted the DVD's badly but was uncertain of what quality I would get. The DVD's are superb! Thank you

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit -The Fourth Year is the best season of this much-loved show. Some of my favorite episodes include: Chameleon, Angels, Damaged, Pandora, and Perfect. If there's one season of SVU to buy, then this is the season for you, you won't regret it!

I got this as a gift for someone and was absolutely happy with how quickly it was shipped and also the person i gave it to loves it.

I love all the Law & Order shows and am impressed that they all continue to get better, with tighter writing, incredible acting and excellent story lines. SVU is my particular favorite as the cast is incredible, believable and have wonderful chemistry. I live in Alaska where I do not get TV so I'm always thrilled when a new one is released. Don't be so long with the next season!

I purchased the 5th yr of Law and Order, SVU for my 16 yr old daughter. She really enjoys watching this show. She was excited and we enjoyed watching every show. She is sad now because we have already watched all of them, and she has been hinting that I need to order another years series. I did. Can't wait for it to come in the mail.

As each season has been released out on DVD, I watch the episodes that I haven't seen in forever and remember my favorite ones from Season 4. Risk, Chameleon, Dolls, and Futility are on my top list and the ones with the E/O moments. :) I would recommend this DVD to every fan out there and go purchase the first 3 seasons too.
