Critics, per Wikipedia
In 2016, a New York Times study of the 50 TV shows with the most Facebook likes found that SVU's popularity was "atypical: generally slightly more popular in rural areas and the South, but largely restricted to the eastern half of the country. It is most popular in Albany, N.Y.; least in Colorado and Utah". Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has received many awards and award nominations. Mariska Hargitay has twice been nominated for a Golden Globe Award and won once in 2005. The show has been nominated numerous times for the Emmy Award. Mariska Hargitay has been nominated for the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category eight years in a row beginning in 2004 and won the Emmy in…

neutral · AI labelView post →This looks like a fake video game that they’d have in a Law & Order episode to show that a teenaged suspect has problems
neutral · AI labelView post →To make up for how Power Rangers is an old Japanese show they filmed additional scenes with Americans for we should do the opposite and make the casts of Law & Order SVU and Grey’s Anatomy stop a couple times an episode to fight people in werewolf costumes
neutral · AI labelView post →This is why there's never been a popular show called Law & Order: Appeals Unit.

neutral · AI labelView post →Interviewer: "What's something that would surprise viewers?" Dick Wolf (crosses legs): "A lot of people miscategorize Law & Order in terms of genre. It's high fantasy. The show doesn't make a big deal of it, but it's set in a parallel universe where all cops, in fact, are not necessarily bastards."
neutral · AI labelView post →I got a tattoo of 24 circles, one for each season of the show Law & Order. A rather touching tribute, if I do say so myself.
positive · AI labelView post →Apologies to my coworkers but I can't record a podcast anymore I have to watch seasons 1-20 of Law & Order, a show in which the ADA routinely says things like "we're gonna put the internet on trial" and judges are like "sure" collider.com/law-and-orde...
positive · AI labelView post →As a diehard Law & Order fan who has seen every episode, I hope that it gets renewed for another season. But the truth is that the next truly interesting era of the show will probably not happen until Dick Wolf is out of the picture. It needs a from-the-ground-up rethink.
neutral · AI labelView post →All such shows are. That said, it's just something to keep very in mind. I fucking grew up on Law & Order but in a home where 'don't talk to cops' was taught as fact. And I get it's a funny show. And it's certainly not some purity bullshit where OMG YOU WATCH blah blah but it's still copganda
neutral · AI labelView post →'LAW & ORDER' is a television show. Certainly, not the United States government at this time. donald tRump is the 'lawless and disorder' President! SCOTUS and the GOP in Congress just sit back and watch. Like it's on TV. Pass the popcorn, please.
neutral · AI labelView post →I am being serious when I say that "Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent" sounds like a throwaway bit on 30 Rock. But it's a real show! Arriving on CW this fall. (and starring Rectify's Aden Young !! !!)

neutral · AI labelView post →I have watched more Law & Order in my life than literally any other TV show combined, I watched it every day when I got home from school, I wrote my Common App essay on it
positive · AI labelView post →I remember the first time I saw an episode of Law & Order. I thought, why hadn't I seen this great movie before. Then I was shocked to learn it was a tv SHOW, and that there was a new one EVERY WEEK. Revolutionary tv.
positive · AI labelView post →Instead of the speech, ABC aired the game show Press Your Luck, while CBS and NBC broadcast reruns of Young Sheldon and Law & Order, respectively. While the broadcast networks passed, CNN and MSNBC carried the speech live. Fox News did not carry it, opting instead to air Tucker Carlson.
neutral · AI labelView post →I was telling a friend the show I actually want to watch is like every episode of Law & Order they falsely arrest someone first. I want a show that follows the person who was wrongly arrested and how that arrest fucked up his life. I was like GROWN GROWN before I learned that people take

neutral · AI labelView post →Really hoping this is like the serial killers on Law & Order who keep trophies and confess just to show they got away with it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Law & Order, while a fun show, has done so much damage to the American psyche
negative · AI labelView post →Oh hey thanks Idaho/Wazzu broadcast for letting me know Law & Order Toronto is coming to the CW. Because everyone in Canada knows eachother, My sister is actually on the series premiere. You should watch it, it's good. It's like Hoser Columbo
neutral · AI labelView post →Just been called up to be one of the detectives on Law & Order (original series). I have to procedurally solve New York crimes for 22 weeks. Has anyone managed to get out of this because they're self employed? Also, did this happen because I share my birthday with Jerry Orbach?

neutral · AI labelView post →Law & Order Trump series “In their criminal justice system, the people are oppressed by two separate yet equally important groups: ICE, who commit crime; and regime officials, who refuse to prosecute the offenders and smear the victims.” Bup bum
neutral · AI labelView post →I think a lot about how TV portrayals shape our expectations of how things work in real life For ex, a show like "Law & Order: SVU" Olivia Benson (and the actress who plays her) may take allegations of SA seriously. But that's not the reality in many cases, even the NY special victims division!
negative · AI labelView post →Law & Order: GBU is a new show where ghosts are busted and then their murders are investigated and prosecuted. The ghosts are allowed to testify at trial. It's very good
neutral · AI labelView post →A lot of people (understandably) don't know how highly regarded Law & Order was in its first decade or so. It holds the record for most Emmy nominations for Best Drama Series. Nor was it always sourly right-of-center; one early episode won a GLAAD Award. It should try to rediscover that ambition.

neutral · AI labelView post →In all seriousness though, pre election every tv was on the news and every other tv was Fox, now they just show Law & Order, Infomercials, TBS movies and Reality TV. What’s up with that shit?

Ten years ago, I did a post spotlighting 10 of the best episodes. The whole series is on Hulu now. thebitterscriptreader.blogspot.com/2015/09/a-sa...

Major recommendations for Milwaukee who have a hilarious Law & Order spoof series ongoing and the City of Marion library from Australia, who have... Denise. IYKYK.

neutral · AI labelView post →The reboot of “Law & Order” is a Temu version of the show The original (the first 20 seasons!) stands the test of time, whereas the reboot plays like a cheap knockoff relying on empty tension to fill in the gaps. A tremendous bummer! My newsletter this week is an in-depth compare & contrast

neutral · AI labelView post →Because I'm very hip and cool, extremely on the pulse, I have been making my way through "Daredevil: Born Again". I understand why some people hated it. A series where our hero & villain, hopelessly mirroring each other, try to be normal and are bad at it, with a side of Law & Order. I love it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Reboot every gritty crime show, but now they're all set in areas with low population density. CSI: Stapleton, NE. NCIS: Missouri River. Law & Order: Tack & Feed.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hi. I am the one middle-aged Hispanic that will either be a victim of a crime, or the parent of a suspect on any given episode of any Law & Order series. I will ALWAYS be labeled as a Mexican by either a racist cop, neighbor and/or witness, regardless of where I'm actually from.
negative · AI labelView post →I just want to get successful enough so that if I show up on a Law & Order, everyone's like "oh he DEFINITELY did it"
neutral · AI labelView post →Most interesting thing about this statement was that the cop mentioned a fash-ass show like "Blue Bloods" instead of something that more people would know like "Law & Order".
neutral · AI labelView post →People (including the writers of the reboot) have an odd memory of the original Law & Order that does not at all match the show that was produced from 1990 to 2010.
negative · AI labelView post →Pick a TV show, keep one actor, the rest are Muppets: Law & Order Keep Jerry Orbach
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm not sure what the criteria is here but any rapper-turned-actor list that doesn't include Ice-T is negligent. Ice-T is the longest running male actor in a TV series for his role as Sgt. Tutuola in Law & Order: SVU. He crossed that milestone in 2022.
