Law And Order: SVU

The television show Law and Order: SVU is about an elite team that investigate felonies. This show has been entertaining people since September 20, 1999. Considering the violence and other inappropriate visuals in this show, you would be inclined to think that children younger than sixteen are not able to watch this. That is not the issue though, kids as young as seven and eight watch this show with all the horrific content, like bloody murder. In contrast, the show keeps the majority of its audience entertained. Most times the audience knows the murderer or rapist before the actors know who it is and watching them chose the correct or incorrect person really lets you connect to the show psychologically and emotionally. This television series

Law and Order: SVU teaches younger kids that violence is wrong. There is an episode called Regarding Henry, where a young boy named Henry kept hurting his little sister like he would trip her off of the stairs. She would claim she fell because if she told on Henry, he got mad. He was also threatening people online and then denying it until the cops found it on his computer history. He even cut his babysitter when she tried putting him to sleep. Lastly, he shot an officer, that did not get hurt badly, and he was sent to a juvenile facility until he is eighteen (Chapple).

They constantly blame themselves and you have to be there to support them even when you do not want to. You have to have the patience to deal with those people crying, blaming themselves, and even blaming you for not finding the

The most important quality about Law and Order: SVU is the climax of each episode. Each episode has a different climax, which makes it more interesting. If you are anything like me, you like a good plot twist, and that is what this show provides. There is an episode where detective Munch got shot in the leg and detective Stabler got shot in the arm, and it turned the rest of the show around (Elisa). Another thing about this TV series is how many episodes there are. There are a total of 456 episodes, which is well over enough to keep you entertained (Porter). The last thing about this show that makes it good is how the main characters deliver their roles. Even outside of the TV series, the majority of the main actors/actresses continue their role in helping their community become better. Like you would see them on a “Stop Domestic Violence” commercial or a “Stop Bullying” commercial, which makes them even better as
