I believe that this Law & Order has the best, most intriguing plots. (LO:CI for the best actors) I am fascinated by what one human will do to another, and why, and this show gives us the 'nitty-gritty' of what people in the world (even here in the USA) are doing to each other. This show also gives us insight into why, possibly, these people do the horrible things they do. I know that these episodes are fiction but when I, daily, read in the paper, or hear on the news about the things people do I wonder 'Why?'. These episodes give you a hint into understanding a bit better.
B.D. Wong is superb as the staff psychiatrist (rather a switch from the Priest of OZ!). He portrays a doctor who, even though he has been trained to analyze and he has been trained to understand how the human mind works, he sometimes still has to shake his head in incredulity at the acts of the criminals. Very believable character.
The other character that I was really surprised by is that of Det. Tutuola played by none other than Ice-T (wasn't he a rapper??). I had seen him in New Jack City and had been shocked at his acting ability in that movie. Apparently he's been acting steadily since then but I've managed to miss him until LO:SVU. Det. Tutuola is a street-wise detective that uses his knowledge and understanding of how the street works to aid in apprehending the proper criminals.
Try it. I bet you'll find you are surprised by how much you like it!
