I'm looking forward to this. I'm not big into crime procedurals but I remember really liking SVU when it first started and stayed with the series for a while. It'll be good to get into this from the beginning.

I will absolutely give it a chance if it will be available over here. SVU is popular and old reruns are airing every weekday after midnight on two channels.

This Law & Order series has been canceled.


Organized Crime is the longest-running Law & Order series I like the least. What I liked most about it, especially in the early seasons, was the large number of guest appearances by actors who were once well-known and popular in other shows. This helped me overlook some of the weak or unrealistic plot twists in Organized Crime. However, sometime in season 2, when the storyline with Dylan McDermott's character from season 1 was revived and things became increasingly bizarre, I realized that Organized Crime wasn't a good show, it was just putting on a show. What I disliked most about Organized Crime was how much they tried to please Christopher Meloni with the material he was given. At the end of his original Special Victims Unit run, it was already clear that the writers wanted to keep Meloni on the show with specific episodes just for his talent, but in Organized Crime, he wanted to shine as an actor in every single episode, and that was exhausting to watch. It even got to the point where I hoped Benson and Stabler wouldn't become a couple, because Olivia deserved better than him.

Despite looking forward to this when it was originally launched, I didn’t end up watching it because I saw that the reviews were so-so. I see that season five ended last year. Did the finale act as a series finale or are things left without resolution?
