Two of the Best Episodes of the Entire Series are in Season 14
Y'all know me. I love Law & Order more than my luggage, especially the Lennie Briscoe Years. And I've been an avid fan of SVU since the very first episode aired. After 14 Seasons, I'm still hooked. (Besides, Ice T looks and speaks just like my older brother, which makes me almost all sentimental.)
Law & Order: SVU may be the last of the Law & Order franchise standing, but it's definitely not the least. The writers are pushing envelopes that are uncomfortable and scary, and the effect is thought-provoking. Season 14 gives us two of the stand-out episodes of the entire *series* -- "Monster's Legacy" and "Born Psychopath." I'd buy the entire season on DVD for just these two episodes; but there's so much more, including.... Wait for it... Drum roll, please...The Return of Criminal Intent's Detective Eames. Oh, yeah.
SVU has always been a personality-driven series, but this year, we finally see "behind the curtain" and into the character's private worlds in-depth...
Enter Barba
Previously on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit; A dead hooker was found in a penthouse, an old face returns and a dead hooker ends up in Captain Cragen's bed. What follows is a two-part episode conclusion and the best season opener since season 2. Raul Esparza has a recurring role as ADA Barba. The most gutsy ADA since Micheal Cutter. Also there are familiar faces that show up. Some that haven't been on for a while like Detective Cassidy and Dr. Olivet. And one familiar face from the Law & Order universe shows up for the first time on SVU. Katherine Erbe makes a guest appearance as Alex Eames who is now a Lieutenant in charge of an Anti-Terrorist Task Force. It is something a true Law & Order fan has been waiting for since Criminal Intent's debut. Some form of an SVU/CI crossover. The real-life stories that influenced the episodes were some of the biggest and tragic events that took place over this past year. Season 14 is a great season whether or not you're a fan Law & Order, SVU,...
Worth It!!!
This season started and ended great. You are left screaming at the end of the season anticipating the start of Season 15
