SVU fan Im celebrating by ranking every single episode ever. Possibly damaging to my mental and emotional health God, I hope so. Ive been watching SVU for 1. The show serves a few purposes for fans. Sometimes it provides emotional catharsis, sometimes it sheds light on real life issues of violence and discrimination, and other times okay, most of the time its utterly bonkers sensationalism thats so salacious and twisted you cant help but slurp it up.

To rank all 4. 00 episodes, I took a few things into consideration How original is the premise How clever is the twists If the episode is based on a real life incident, how well does the show comment on itBut most important How much did the episode leave me crying screaming at the TV gasping in shock Find out my bottom 2. SVUs 4. 00th episode to air on NBC. Expect all the SPOILERS. This article also includes some graphic language relating to violence and sexual assault. Listen, Ive been a devout SVU fan for 1. Attempting to comment on Ferguson and Freddie Gray, the episode finds three never before seen detectives shooting and killing an unarmed black man they pursued as a rapist. Ill give it this it presents an interesting angle of showing the perspectives of fictional cops weve grown to love and trust and the circumstances are notably different from real life incidents. BUT when Benson and the squad defend the shooting, my SVU heart broke a little. At least Barba, a supporter of Black Lives Matter, grills them hard in front of a grand jury. But jeez, bad move guys. A custody battle is spurred by the reveal that a fertility clinic gave a mother another womans embryos. An interesting idea on paper, but tedious and plodding onscreen. An SVU episode without sexual assault, twisted sexual relationships, or murderNo thanks. Id seen this episode and couldnt remember the plot until watching it all the way through a second time. A playwright daughter has it out for her aging sexist father. Then theres a trial and. Who knew investigating a multi city serial rapist could be so boringThis episode came out in 2. SVU still depicted queer homeless youth as feisty caricatures slathered in lipstick. This is also a Chicago P. D. 7 SVU is full of terrible mothers, but this one is pretty tame. Josie Bisset plays a pregnant alcoholic who gets arrested by Benson when she violates a court order not to drink. And thats pretty much it. Not that Im begging for soul shattering episodes only about assault and kidnapping, but cmon, this is SVU. Gimme what I came for. This episode opens to a terrible pop song playing over a montage of a teenage girl getting ready to go out. Then she wakes up stuffed inside of a suitcase. I never called SVU classy but cmon. Also, the main suspect is a painfully bad Shia La. Beouf rip off who wears a paper bag on his head. On one hand this is a suspenseful hour of SVU theres a tense rooftop shootout, a kidnapped victim, and Ice T one liners.

But this is also the Gamergate episode, which did a terrible job of giving insightful, non sensationalized commentary about this real life story. You can do better, SVU. Some of my least favorite SVU episodes are about crime rings. Theyre set up to be suspenseful pursuits full of undercover work, but often end up being pretty dull and redundant. This one about illegal immigrants definitely is. A young actress tried for statutory rape leads the squad to a pervy producer who sleeps with underage girls. Same old story, just set in Hollywood. A young girl joins the porn industry and gets assaulted by two college students at a party. Pretty forgettable. A case that leads back to a doctor Elizabeth Mc. Govern who teaches military torture techniques. Its the Lifetime movie version of an SVU episode, mostly for the bad music plays as former prisoners recount their stories. Hey guys, we gotta do an episode about Trayvon Martin But instead of depicting George Zimmerman, lets kill two birds with one stone and make the shooter a Paula Deen typeCybill Sheperd doing her best Paul Deen NBC3. A college professor stalked a girl, watched her die, and then dragged her body outside to engage in some necrophilia. Admirably gross, but a pretty simple case full of too many red herrings. Rollins sister gets tangled up in a rape case involving a flutist. Ever notice that the later seasons often depend on the detectives personal lives for drama and suspense Yeah, those are not good. A detective for the D. A. Interesting mystery, unsatisfying reveal. A jealous gymnast kills another gymnast with a brick to the head. Sounds more thrilling than it is. After tackling the Ray Rice elevator assault tacked on to the Solange Jay Z incident four episodes before this one, SVU does it again, only with a sportscaster as the abuser. The squad finds a girls dead body and uses her DNA to find her killer. Never seen that on a crime show beforeReal life celebrity incidents are perfect scandalous fodder for SVU, but the show often depicts those stories of real life violence and weighty topics as cartoonish. That was especially the case for this Rihanna and Chris Brown inspired episode. Whoopi Goldberg plays the head of child services whos accused of manslaughter. Episodes about good intentioned people who screw up might be more reflective of real life, but dont make for engaging TV. Youll hear me say this again and again, but SVU episodes that are more about the detectives personal drama than twisty cases are always the most disappointing. Points for giving Rollins an interesting addiction to explore, but can we get back to solving crimes A group of friends orchestrate the gang rape of their friend Lola Kirke at a concert. In a weak twist, its a former vet and bouncer with PTSD who miraculously remembers something that helps the squad prosecute their suspects. Tribeca teenagers gone wildRainbow parties Nude photos on the internet Missi Pyle as an anti vaxxer mom Theres way too much going on in this scattered episode. Just another negative portrayal of a trans person played by cis actress Kate Moennig. Her character is a trans woman who murders a guy who threatens to out her. Points for trying to tell a story about the real life violence in the trans community, but still, not great Bob. When a terminal cancer patient Brian Dennehy asks to see his daughter one last time, he reveals he committed a series of bank robberies and murders 3. One of those episodes that tries something different, but it ultimately ends up being a bore. In this episode Amaro finally stands up to his abusive father. Feels more like a soap opera than a cop procedural. This episode starts out with a bang pun intended, sorry when Rollins gets shot by a sniper, but it quickly devolves into a forgettable exploration of Fins Narcotics backstory. At least 2 Chainz shows up with a fantastic line about his face being sewed onto a soccer ball. Chainz after his happy ending massage gets interrupted. Too bad the real Solange Jay Z elevator incident was ten times more exciting than SVUs take on it. Im sorry but did the writers have so few ideas that an episode about a dad plotting the kidnapping of his own son to make his spaced out ex wife pay more attention seemed like a clever idea I mean, it had my attention but thats your twist When Rollins asks a model if a famous photographer forced her to have sex with him she retorts back, He didnt hold a gun on meWell, actually, he did. But it wasnt loaded. If youre going to take on Terry Richardsons sexual assault allegations, maybe dont make it so laughable. Another episode where Amaro is a carbon copy of Stabler.
