This show has been around for a whopping 19 seasons. You'd think these people would run out of special victims, but the world is a dark place. There will always be new special victims to help. This hasn't been must-see-TV for quite some time now. The procedural genre is overdone at this point, although it's still very enjoyable. If it wasn't enjoyable, you wouldn't see so many procedural TV shows on the air throughout all the years.
The format for 'Law and Order: SVU' is predictable at this point, so it's a great show to turn on if you're feeling brain dead or cleaning around the house. It won't break your brain like some other more complicated shows, so there's that going for it. Still, I don't see any new fans jumping into this show now. Skip it.
