5.0 out of 5 stars The Show Finally Gets Recognition (An Emmy and Golden Globe), February 14, 2008

This review is from: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - The Sixth Year (DVD)

SVU recreated the spin-off, this is a parallel series to the war horse Law & Order. The only character in common between the shows is the peripheral character of Captain Cragen (Dan Florek) who commands the squad (as he did in L&O) but he is not a main character, more like a sounding board for the other character to come to.

This series focal point has always been Detives Stabler and Benson (the incredible Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay) with Detectives Munch and Tutuola (Richard Belzer and Ice-T) as the back-up detectives. B.D. Wong returns as the forensic psychologist and Diane Neal comes back for a second season as the departments ADA.

This season has the following 23 episodes:

Birthright - A kidnapping uncovers a scandal at a fertility clinic (probably inspired by the UCI scandal). Future Oscar Nominee Abigail Breslin and Lea Thompson guest.

Debt - The investigation of a disappearance of a mother and daughter lead to illegal immigration and forced prostitution. Ming-Na and James Hong guest.

Obscene - There is an alleged rape of a 16 year old TV star but was it set in motion by a shock jock. China Beach's Dana Delany and Michael Boatmen guest.

Scavanger - A serial killer has the crew scavangering the city for clues to his identity before he takes his next victim. Anne Meara and Elizabeth Franz guest.

Outcry - When a teenage girl is found beaten and tied up who raped her, college students as she stated, her stepfather who Benson believes or some one else. Blair Brown and Michael O'Keefe guest.

Conscience - Detectives get played by the murder suspect and then by the victim's father. Peter Reigert, Kyle McLachlan and Novella Nelson guest.

Charisma - A cult is protecting their leader a serial con artist and forger who has turned to murder and pediophilia. Another China Beach Alum, Jeff Kober guests.

Doubt - It's a he said, she said rape investigation. Benson initially taking the girl's side and Stabler the professor's side. But as the investigation proceeds, they both change their opinions. Bill Campbell and Mariette Hartley guest.

Weak - After a fight with Stabler, Benson turns to a former officer, now a psychiatrist, to help solve the serial rape of disabled women. Amanda Plummer and Mary Stuart Masterson guest. (This episode won SVU its first Emmy)

Haunted - Fin is reunited with his son while saving two other children.

Contagious - When a girl is examined after a car crash, it is discovered that she had been molested. Out of fear she blames her soccer coach and this snowballs when other team members also accuse him. Daniel Hugh Kelly guests.

Identity - The investigation of the death a gang member who fell off a building takes a strange twist when a tagger confesses but the physical evidence points elsewhere. Charlyne Woodard and Peter Firth guest.

Quarry - When the body of a seven year old boy is found, the team tries to link it to a convicted serial killer. John Savage guests.

Game - The grisly murder is blamed on a video game. Barry Bostwick guests.

Hooked - The body of a girl is found with her older cousin's ID. It turns out that she had an online hookup with an older man. But he too is found dead.

Blood - A baby is tossed out of a car window. During the investigation, Benson and Stabler link it to drug dealer who turns up dead. (A side story Stabler intercedes when his daughter is picked up for drunk driving. This will haunt him later in the series.) Melinda Dillion guests.

Parts - A woman's head is found in a junkyard. Oscar winner Marlee Matlin guests.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great show, second-quality DVDs, April 14, 2009

This review is from: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - The Sixth Year (DVD)

I've ordered five different years of Law & Order and Law & Order SVU. In most cases the DVD's are horribly mis-printed. Much of the ink is missing and the bottom half is often printed at a different angle from the top half. Luckily they play fine, buy I'm annoyed at paying full price for obvious rejects / second quality merchandise.

I thought it was one of the weakest in the series, I own them all
and compared to Year 7 I was disappointed, but all in all a good series.
