Now we're back to basics, in the 21st century.
As a white, hetro, male, I have always detested sexual and other abuses of females, and males. Ever since this series started, I missed the first 3 series because, my last partner 2001-03, of English decent, (I'm Irish), was drugged and sexually abused in Rio De Janerio, and couldn't bear to watch, which is understandable. Thankfully "it" was impotent, and wasn't able to rape her.
When we broke up, it took a few years to catch up (no catch up services were available at the time). Of all the American series I've watched over the years, SVU has been consistant. Criminal Minds bowed out in a whimper, which was disappointing, I've stopped watching NCIS because of the onstage debacle over a dog, and all the other REAL Law and Order series have run their course. Beyond Borders was beyond belief so, I gave it a miss.
The beauty of the current series is, the scripts are very current and up to date. What most viewers don't realise is, the "date" shown in the intro to each court part, is on the day, and done that week. Because of the pandemic, each episode is virtually being done in a week, not 3 to 6 months prior, because of restrictions.
Cudos to everyone involved.
