Dangerous Truck Driver
shelbythuylinh15 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The squad thinks a truck driver that has been for up to twenty years or so across the country uses his job to rape and how he raped about nearly thirty women despite being married to his wife for twenty two years and the wife seemingly had no knowledge.

It causes every nook and cranny in law enforcement to investigate him and make sure he never does that again.

Benson is under the thumb of Deputy Chief McGrath as she despises the politics there. And proves to him that the SVU unit not just a team but a family there. Giving credit to Fin and Rollins in the end.

Eighteen Wheels

A pretty good episode here, but they always make the bad guys either cocky and/or arrogant and I don't think they fall into these traps. Olivia should not be able to trick someone with minimal effort.

Just like the old days

This episode reminded me of the early years. This was one of the best of this season. Kept me on the edge of my seat. I liked how they kept the politics out of it as well. Great job team!

Finally! Like the Good Ole Days....

SVU episodes have been hit or miss the past few seasons. There's always the hope that the next episode will be the hit. This episode is THAT episode. Has the vibe of the old SVU. LOVE when SVU channels the spirit that every episode used to invoke.

It carries the air of partnership sections with Stabler, Cragen, Munch. The story is like the Stabler-era episodes. It's like a dedication to Stabler's return, but without Stabler.

It was a nice touch when Olivia praised Rollins and Fin for resolving an incident node, as opposed to just giving credit to the chief or captain... it was a team effort.

Let's talk the story. The victim is in a dark gray court and the parts where she does not face the trauma process... dark gray... supporting the live victim in every way during the incident... all these are not discussed. In short, the new Svu style after Stabler is not processed.

The svu style was also superficial with the family plot twist at the end. Olivia is again the reigning boss, while the squad is stagnant because of that.

It's the last few episodes. I'm watching a superficial svu. I miss the spirit of Olivia and Svu squad. I miss the spirit with which Olivia identifies with the victims' problem.

The former Svu team must have partnership and animated exterior scenes. 35%. However, there must be svu that provides justice by catching the dark gray victim and catching the criminal... Like 65%... In summary, the Stabler era with partnership should be in the scenario, the original Svu from Olivia after Stabler should also be law and order..

'Welcome to Sex Crimes. Look, Stone, there are no perfect witnesses. They leave out part of the story. They can't remember. They feel guilty, change their minds. They blame themselves. They think it's their fault, but that's why we're here. To fight for them. And the less perfect they are, the harder we fight. Look, nobody asks a robbery or a homicide victim if she wanted it. Nobody says, "Hey, why was she walking down the dark alley?" Why was she wearing the dark skirt? "Nobody implies that the crime was somehow her fault.'

'You have the victim's word. We go to trial so the victim, the survivor, can look her rapist in the eye and tell the world her truth. We go to trial so she can be heard. The truth, that's what she heals. If you're going to trial because you want to win, you're in the wrong place.'

Svu is like in these words. This is the real Olivia.

Star wise-Because I like the number 3...(too many IMO)

They have just gotten soooo...ridiculous in the script/writing/dialogue/acting... I started the show's beginning so I'll watch until it ends but...wow-it just isn't what it used to be. Cragen only showed up for certain things on scene..for example-an old cold case that involved pedophiles, a high profile case that the "Brass" is telling you to be apart of or a case that is so important to the community there is a current huge risk to it.
