Stuart Jeffries Guardian Crazily, Law and Order packed into 40 minutes what could have been a 10-part series. Hitchcock or De Palma would have spent half an hour on Mackenzie's enforced makeover alone. Apr 21, 2020 Full Review Ellen E Jones Independent (UK) Even for hardened cop show viewers like myself, there are some plots so thoroughly nasty you feel unsettled for days after the have credits rolled. Last night's story was one of those. Apr 22, 2014 Full Review Jane Rackham Radio Times None of this will send you to bed with a song in your heart -- in fact it's remorseless. But Law and Order SVU does what it does brilliantly, however nasty. Apr 16, 2020 Full Review David Butcher Radio Times Deeper US series that go out on cable channels such as HBO tend to get credit for exploring the darker recesses of American life. But boy, even a generic network cop show like SVU can pack a punch. Apr 16, 2020 Full Review Merrill Barr Film School Rejects This season of SVU represented the high quality that we have come to expect from the best iteration of the Law & Order franchise Apr 16, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
