Synopsis

LAW AND ORDER - SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT is a spin off of the incredibly popular and long running crime drama, LAW AND ORDER. SVU focuses on sex crimes and, instead of spending half the programme's hour with the cops and the other half with the lawyers, this series stays with the police and the criminals they pursue for most of the show. SVU takes place in New York and stars Christopher Merloni and Mariska Hargitay as Detectives Stabler and Benson, two partners who uncover some of the city's most shocking crimes. This collection contains the entire first series of the show.

5.0 out of 5 stars A brillant start to a fantastic series, 28 Feb 2005
I started to watch this series on UK television this year. There was a huge advertising campaign and it worked on me - I sat down and watched the first episode.. and well I was hooked. I do not believe I have ever seen such a compelling series as this. As a Brit I am a huge fan of US drama series - I thought that ER would never be beaten for exhausting gritty realism - but I think I have found its equal. A bold and brave series it concentrates on the darker side of crime fighting - that of sex crimes. It required superior story lines and acting to get this series of the ground and running. Once again this debut series had both elements in abundance. The whole cast are excellent especially Hargitay and Meloni who bring a huge aray of emotions to the screen without excessive sentimentality. All the actors play vunerable characters - but their dedication and compassion to their work brings a sense of balance between the terrible crimes they investigate and the people they try to protect. Amazingly there is also a wonderful brand of humour which runs through the episodes which lightens the mood and adds further dimension to the characters and storylines. I am delighted that the first series has finally been brought out on DVD. It deserves to be seen, so do.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Show Ever!, 23 Sep 2005
By N. Janger "alexiscarrington" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I started to watch Law & Order SVU when I visited Canada 4 years ago. My cousin had told me about the series and well I was hooked from day one. The storylines are at times, disturbing, but a true indication of what life is like on some of our streets in todays society. You grow to have a fuller understanding and admiration for the actual people that work in the real SVU teams. The characters are absolutely brilliant, and Olivia and Elliott lead the cast in every single season! Most of the characters from this season are in the other seasons apart from 1, and the team is as strong in this first series as they are today! I thought it would be difficult going back in time, but season 1 hits off with a BANG and you see why this show has succeeded and why it is rated, justifiably the full 5 stars. How Dick Woolf manages to keep on getting these gritty storylines is beyond my imagination. I am usually a season ahead as I get them straight from Canada having been shown there first, and Dick Woolf has also created a Law & Order Trial by Jury. Unfortunately, after season 1 this show has been cancelled - and in my opinion too soon.
Law & Order SVU is absolutely brilliant and you begin to bond with and love all the characters. You need to have this one on your shelves for the collection. A collection would just not be a collection or complete without it!
