L & O: SVU has had many great episodes during its 15 seasons, but in your opinion, which are the 5 best episodes? Here are my entries (in alphabetical order):
CLOSURE PART II
CRIMINAL HATRED
DENIAL
DOUBLE STRANDS
MONOGAMY
Most sickening: NOCTURNE Why? In a special feature from Season 1 it is explained that this story is absolutely true. The screenwriter didn't even have to "dramatize" it.
Off the top of my head..
Russian Love Poem
Volker Flenske: (While torturing David) I don't know why you're doing this to yourself!
Yes, that episode involves the irrepressible Munch. I believe Russian Love Poem is from the 1st season. I own 8 or 9 seasons of SVU. Now I can get the episodes I want by having a Smart TV and Amazon Prime.
Thanks for sharing. Nobody else has!
1. "Waste"
2. "Limitations"
3. "Inheritance"
4. "Execution"
5. "Down-Low"
"He IS Redstone."
Yes, I totally agree with you on the episodes "Execution" and "Down-Low." "Down-Low" was a real eye-opener at the time it appeared on SVU. "Execution" was heartbreaking. What did or do you think of "Criminal Hatred?" I believe the last episode I mentioned here made actor Raul Esparza the best ADA SVU has ever had. What's your take on the new ADA?
shareI am a massive fan of all the law and orders but svu is by far the best.
my fav episode is the one about the pregnant girl with down syndrome, lots of twists and turns and viewpoints to think about... My daughter has down syndrome so it was a lot of interest to me.
Yes, that was a very good + different-type episode. The girl's mother was over protecting her. I was so pleased with the ending, weren't you? With some help the girl & boy were going to be able to raise their baby together. I hope your daughter has the opportunity to really live her life as the girl in that episode. All the best to you both.
I love all the Law & Order shows, too. I've been watching the first 5 seasons of the original in the past month on streaming Netflix. Michael Moriarty was really GOOD as the ADA. We just got so used to Sam Waterston that it seemed he'd been ADA forever. I own L&O seasons 6, 7 & 14. 14 was last season with Jerry Orbach before he passed away at age 69. My brother passed away of same problem as Orbach: prostate cancer.
SORRY forgot to say it is season 3 and called competence!
