Melinda Houston and Debi Enker Sydney Morning Herald There's little especially exciting about this formula-driven crime show, but it continues to plug away. May 18, 2020 Full Review Megan Garber The Atlantic SVU is still uncomfortably relevant; the show is less urgent, however, than it once was. Dec 2, 2019 Full Review Hannah Giorgis The Atlantic Culminates with a relatively simple resolution to a complex problem. Even so, the show maintains a remarkable level of compassion for the victims in question, and viewers can find some comfort in that. Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Kate Hudson Pajiba This was a pretty good episode that handled its ripped from the headlines subject matter thoughtfully, however, there were no chase scenes that involved the detectives running after a perp commenting "I hate it when they run." Rated: 7/10 Oct 14, 2019 Full Review Jack Ori TV Fanatic Sometimes watching Law & Order: SVU hurts. It shows viewers week after week what it would be like if there were cops that doubled as social workers and didn't care what it took to get justice for victims. Episode 1 was a powerful example of that. Rated: 4.5/5.0 Sep 27, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member the season was amazing! Very nice plots Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely fantastic. After the rather sleepy Season 20, SVU came out with STYLE in Season 21. The most engaging, outraging season since I can't remember when. SVU has never really been 'bad', but this season really hit it's stride.
