Critics Reviews

David Chater Times (UK) There are snappy scenes, ripe cameos and easy-to-solve moral dilemmas... If you must have formulaic drama, the Law & Order franchise has as good a formula as any. Apr 16, 2020 Full Review Steve Johnson Chicago Tribune The overriding premise, that it's worthwhile to explore a police Special Victims Unit concentrating on sex crimes, is just creepy. Too often in the series, it feels like exploitation, a way to work in a lot of graphic details. Apr 16, 2020 Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly Yes, the crimes are appalling, but it's hard to believe these pros wouldn't either burn out or take a more businesslike approach to their work. Rated: C+ Apr 15, 2020 Full Review Chad Taylor New Zealand Herald Is SVU going soft? Maybe not. There are positive signs... It's not that we don't want the world to be a fair place but it's great to see it depicted in the way we sense it really does work. Apr 16, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
