Editorial Reviews

Primetime Emmy® Award nominee Christopher Meloni enters his last season as crime detective Elliot Stabler in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit – The Twelfth Year. In 24 gripping and complex episodes, Stabler joins Primetime Emmy® Award winner Mariska Hargitay as detective Olivia Benson to take on sexual crimes of a more sinister and dynamic nature than ever before, including those involving runaway children, an American sex trade operation and serial rapists. As part of New York’s committed investigative and legal team, Dann Florek, Richard Belzer, Ice-T, B.D. Wong and Tamara Tunie spend the season with an illustrious roster of guest stars, including Melissa Sagemiller, Terrence Howard, Jeremy Irons, John Stamos, Maria Bello, Joan Cusack, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Rita Wilson. Diane Neal also makes an emotional return as ADA Casey Novak in producer Dick Wolf’s hard-hitting series that’s part of the longest-running brand on television.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cast for this show August 20, 2011

By C. Schleper

Format:DVD

Even though this show is about sex crimes, it's very close to real life. I think this is by far my favorite Law and Order because of the cast. Hargitay and Meloni make excellent partners as well as Belzer and Ice T. The humor that they add into episodes I think fits with the situation the detectives handle. They pretty much cover all angles of sex crimes and child abuse. I think what sets this show apart from other shows is the many angles of these crimes. For example disabled victims who can't talk, abused foster kids, gay men infected with HIV. Not every episode is exactly the same, the suspects are from different backgrounds and have different motives. The victims also are from many different backrounds and in some episodes end up being suspects. A lot of the viewers get a look into the crimes against other nationalities also making every episode unique.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome last year for Chris Meloni November 17, 2011

By Amy B

Great season, sorry to see Elliot Stabler go, I love massively flawed characters like him who feel the ends justify the means. Not as good as Dennis Franz on NYPD Blue, who was the ultimately flawed cop, but had nothing but the best of intentions in his personal life. Stabler reminded me a little of him, always wanting to kill a pedophile, but not with the great comebacks that Sipowicz ( yeah I know I'm spelling that wrong) had. They both had the best of intentions on the job and ultimately were always about family. Sorry to see you go Mr. Meloni. You are a great actor, and easy on the eyes as well. I enjoyed watching you on SVU these last 12 years. I am sorry you had to be yet another casualty of Dick Wolf's revolving door of changes in casts. Or maybe you wanted to go. Either way you will be missed.
