I love the show and I am a guy. It's a good show.

With that said, the last 5 or so seasons, they make the show way too much about Olivia Benson, and less about the victims and other characters. It's more like "how can we get Benson assaulted, raped, beaten, shot, etc., then make her the hero at the end?". And they mix in an actual crime story with other victims in to mix it up.

It's also turned into somewhat of a preachy SJW themed show. Several episodes last season made me roll my eyes because they were so obvious about it.

They've gone out of their way to make Mariska Hargatay as unattractive as possible. She's no longer allowed to smile.

She is beautiful. That show, maybe on purpose, makes her look about as unattractive, and about as unromantic, sexually awkward as she can be. In the few shows that they have put some focus on her having a relationship with a guy, her body language and her interactions with them are more like a gay male relationship. Like how two men would romantically interact with each other(not that I know or have any expertise on being gay ). Again, this could be on purpose, or maybe she just doesn't like to do on screen relationships.....who knows. Her mom was a whore, maybe she saw too much....

My wife watches this shite like a religion.

Yesterday she was watching an episode where they were trying to prosecute a border patrol officer for kidnapping for separating a family lol.

Are you talking about Mrs. Benson or Jayne Mansfield?

I’ll admit that I don’t mind the show. My gf watches it all the time and I’ll watch it with her.

My only problem is the constant badass’ness that Benson has and her ability to almost never be wrong. The few times she is wrong I cheer out loud.

Ice-T is badass in the show, imo as well.

I didn’t connect that Ice-T was on the show, which is why I was bewildered by skrayper‘s response.

Chris Meroni leaving was the end of that show being great. Removing the Munch character was the end of it being good.

Munch requesting his own FBI file with Lennie Brisco in tow was the best thing ever. Munch thought he must be high on the Bureau's radar as a subversive, they barely even knew he existed.

True story. If you removed SVU and HGTV from the air then female television audiences would immediately decrease by 50%


90% of the rest seems to be cheating islands, dumb housewives, or reality singing competitions

HGTV

Porn for women.

Men watch videos of women hotter than their wives, women watch shows about houses better than the ones their husbands bought them.
