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 is one of television's best series and a great season to boot!

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.

This seller, this product and it's delivery were perfect. This is one of my most favorite shows and this particular set is my first purchase of the series. The price is phenomenal and no one can beat it, but the quality makes me want to purchase a different season each month until I have them ALL! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

Law & Order has always been one of my favorite shows. It's so good to be able to watch this as much as I want.

Great season of Law and Order: SVU. We have all the sets and we really enjoy watching this one. Great buy.

The DVD said it was new.. Well when I got it it was still in the factory seal but the DVD's look used they were scratched plus the "picture" on the DVD's are not right the way they are printed on the DVD's right along with the scratches plus it looks like the paint or what ever they use to put the picture on looks like it got wet. It's hard to discribe but I am just hoping these are not copies!!!!! Anyway they did come ontime I think they came even a day early . Oh and one of the episodes stops in the middle of it and goes back to the beginning. You never get to see the end. I know I only paid 11 dollar for this season so I guess I got what I paid for. I am just upset that is said it was new and I don't think it is.

Cheapest I've seen this season. I love the price, the brand new packaging, and the product. All AMAZING. Great buy.

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.

Pefect for any SVU fan. You get to see elements of the stories that you can't see watching the episodes week to week. You seem to miss the dynamics of the group, the characters individual stories and how each of them develop their own way of coping with stress of the job; Also you get to see a clearer picture of the legal system and its limitations
