Reviews

David Chater
Times (UK)
This spin-off from Law and Order, based on New York cops dealing with sexually motivated crime, does exactly what it sets out to do... It may be a formula, but it works.

Joyce Millman
Salon.com
It's melodramatic and manipulative, splattered with awkward attempts at comedy and lacking in the original's cool dignity. The cases aren't necessarily seamier than the ones that turn up on Law & Order, but the treatment of them is flashier, grabbier.

London Evening Standard
Special Victims Unit excels at the familiar format: believable plots, tight script, snappy dialogue, crisp editing, fast-paced action, finely judged acting, great lighting and a tension-filled soundtrack.
