被残忍杀害的年轻女子、被虐的婴儿、被近亲性侵害的女童、家暴阴影下手足无措的妇女、失调扭曲的家庭关系、很想用心但每每力有未迨的父母、杵在社会家庭人际边缘人性的灰色地带。SVU每回总是触动那块让人无从防备的柔软地带，可爱的孩童，无辜的弱势个体(受性侵害者、同性恋、精神病患) ，每个人都多少有些经验感触的亲子、家庭关系。不见得得是多复杂的剧情，像今天，忙於工作单亲母亲剧烈摇晃死自己的一岁多幼女(shake syndrome)，幼小无辜的女孩在母亲一时的暴怒下被辗压击碎，但另一方面你多了解那种拉扯在工作亲子关系中的心力交瘁，可爱时像天使哭闹起来却像恶魔一样让你抓狂的孩子，要怎么以审判指控那、为了不舍得看到无恢复希望的孩子继续受到病痛折磨而毅然决定停止呼吸器，哪怕这将使自己已因杀罪被起诉的母亲？是以就算这是再滥情的一种搬演、操控，每每总还是让观众溃不成军..
　　Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: 对于一部procedural drama来说情节及其设置是成功的关键，L&O: SVU在这方面是相当不错的，同是它也继续着L&O系列的传统：对各个主角的私生活几乎不接触。这样的好处就是可以使观众随时看任意一集而不必担心情节不连续；坏处就是观众群不断更换。Easier to attach, easier to detach. L&O: SVU最大的卖点是sex crime

　　世界电影大师阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克自导的悬念故事集，每个小故事都或多或少包含了恐怖，悬疑，超自然等元素，每集开始都是由导演本人拉开序幕，等到故事完毕，又由导演本人闭幕总结。记得小时候曾经在电视里看过，每个故事都很精彩，看完之后令人拍案叫绝。

　　Season 3: 2001–2002
　　Cast: Rob Lowe, Stockard Channing, Dulé Hill, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff, John Spencer, Bradley Whitford and Martin Sheen
　　The third season, which covers the administration's third and fourth years in office, starts off with Bartlet announcing his intention to run for reelection and is heavily devoted to the upcoming presidential election. Other prominent plotlines include Congressional investigations into whether Bartlet committed electoral fraud by concealing his MS, a death threat against C.J. and the ensuing relationship she develops with a Secret Service agent assigned to her, the Qumari defense minister Abdul Shareef plotting terrorist attacks against the US, and a troubling meeting between Toby and the President that leaves Bartlet with a bout of insomnia in "Night Five." The season finale, "Posse Comitatus" closes several of these storylines as Bartlet meets his opponent in the elections and reaffirms his commitment to beat him. The episode ends with the president finally deciding to order Shareef's assassination (a legally questionable act) and C.J.'s agent's murder, just after the man threatening C.J. was caught.
　　From a critical perspective, series creator Aaron Sorkin acknowledged in October 2002 that the terrorism-related plots designed to keep the series relevant after the real-life 9/11 attacks were awkward at times, saying "from week to week, you felt like you were writing the show handcuffed, a little bit. I didn't know how to write it anymore. It was a constant search for what I wasn't doing that used to make the show work. [...] Maybe there was a way to make it work; there probably was. I wasn't able to find it in twenty-two episodes." [1] Nonetheless, the show went on to win its third "Outstanding Drama" Emmy in a row.
