Benson is back, baby! In honour of nbcsvu returning tonight, here's all the reasons the show is actually really great
In case you weren’t aware, today is a pretty historic day. Law & Order Special Victims Unit premieres its 21st season on September 26, making it the longest-running prime-time drama EVER. That’s 20 years of fighting bad guys, 20 years of iconic guest appearances, 20 years of gorgeous shots of the NYC skyline and 20 years of Lieutenant Olivia Benson’s enviable coat collection.
It’s female fronted One of the best parts of SVU is the fact that it’s *clearly* the ladies who are running the show. Going in to the 21st season, Benson is leading the Special Victims Unit, and she’s been running the show for a long time. Hargitay has been a series lead on the show since its first episode in 1999, and is now an an executive producer. With a cast of rotating characters moving in and out of the SVU-universe, Hargitay—and Benson—have remained a constant.
A September 2015 study conducted by Washington State University found that people who watch SVU are better informed about consent and less likely to buy into rape myths. The study, which looked at whether or not crime procedural dramas like SVU make us more intelligent about or more indifferent to crime, found that compared to other shows like NCIS and CSI, Law & Order dramas actually had a positive effect on how freshman students surveyed viewed consent and saw sexual assault.
It’s combatting other taboos on-screen, too Beyond changing how people view sexual assault and consent, the show is also combatting other seriously repressive views on women through various characters’ storylines. No one more-so than detective Amanda Rollins. Played by Kelli Giddish, Rollins is the Southern belle with grit. She’s a nuanced character with a complicated family life, a gambling addiction on the DL and some questionable taste when it comes to men.
Ice-T: That’s it, that’s the tweet Seriously, what would SVU even be without the beauty that is Ice-T ?!
