ABOUT LAW & ORDER SVU
"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," now in its 21st season, makes television history as the longest-running primetime live-action series of all time. "Law & Order" chronicles the lives of the Special Victims Unit of the New York City Police Department, an elite squad of detectives who investigate crimes. As acting commander of the SVU, Lt. Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) leads with empathy and professionalism, all the while dealing with her difficult past, which influences the way she relates to the victims and perpetrators of each case. As Benson's second-in-command, Sgt. Odafin "Fin" Tutuola (Ice T) adds a unique sense of humor and undercover investigative experience. Det. Amanda Rollins (Kelli Giddish) has earned her place as an integral part of the team and Det. Dominick "Sonny" Carisi (Peter Scanavino) brings a fresh outlook and distinctive style of investigation to the squad.

Kelli is such a phenomenal actor, it scares me. Often i forget it’s just a character she’s playing and i find myself screaming/crying/laughing along with her as if she was a family member i’ve known all my life.

[@hayleawinecoff5483]

becca b I’m that was with Olivia

[@yunuengutierrez6228]

Same

[@debbieschultz9768]

I do the same with Olivia as well as Amanda!!

[@Chaotic.Clumsy]

Rollins is the perfect character to have opposite Benson. They are so different yet so alike. Benson always thinks everyone's a victim and Rollins always think nobody is really a victim.

[@parismahone1602]

I like both of them

[@parismahone1602]

Benson is just as perfect as rollins they do have different opinions and beliefs and views but whether people like her or Don't she is definitely one of the best characters on the show and she is the right person to be the main character if rollins was the main character the show would've been so different.

[@Chaotic.Clumsy]

@@parismahone1602 you don't get what I said in my comment, I didn't say Rollins was perfect or Benson is not perfect. I said that Rollins is the perfect character to have opposite Benson because they're very different but very alike on the things that matter.

[@monetmonroe4644]

Which kinda annoyed me in the beginning because she stayed taking the side of the men instead of the females which boggled my mind because she was in fact a victim smh

[@tonijohnson7804]

Right they give each other balance

Kelli is the best, I have loved Rollins since the beginning, the squad wouldn’t be the same without her. x

@@Qlawkes but rollins add some dynamic to the squad. her storylines and mysterious past are always fun to watch and she gives the viewers something to relate to (rollins has struggled with drinking, gambling, the abuse as a child, her rape, and just how her character acts). i know that people can relate to benson as well, but it's not the same as rollins (in my opinion). this is just a character so i know everyone perceives them differently, but that's just my take on it

[@bklynleo887]

Even though she was kidnapped, her dynamic with Frank was lowkey hilarious.

[@markjohnson9455]

I like how Benson surprised Rollins with her new promotion because she experienced a lot in one year.

[@shelbylou02]

Benson and Rollins compliment one another so nicely. Love them both. 🖤🖤

[@kalyawhatever4191]

Getting to know Rollins has been a turning point for me. At a time where I was not able to have compassion for myself, I could see right through her. Today, I just want to share how grateful I am for the way Kelli brings her to life and for the writers that have created her. I’ve turned my life around. Not thanks to her, I had to put in the hard work. But she’s definitely been the trigger. Watching her grow over the years has brought me so much hope. I’m so proud of her, the way I’m proud of myself. I’m not a social media person, I respect people’s privacy the way I want mine to be respected. But I have one wish. I would love for the creators of the show to know how much Rollins means to me, and for Kelli to know that she has inspired me to become a better version of myself. I hope someday I will be told that they know how much their work means to me. Nobody, in the real world or the television world has been able to reach me like she did. I will forever be grateful for her. I miss her, like I miss a dear friend. I can’t wait to see her back on screen. Season 21 has by far been my favourite because we got to see Rollins facing all those challenges and learn from them, instead of spiralling back down. Do you even know what that means for someone who comes from a broken home to break the cycle? She’s doing so well. It’s a long and messy road, but she’s got this. Thank you deeply for season 21. I can’t wait to see Kelli in season 22.

Finally, a comment section NOT filled with people obsessing about stabler!! Personally, him leaving changed the course of the show for the better. Olivia, Rollins, Carisi, Kat and of course the one and only Odafin Tutuola make this great, (Elliott leaving allowed the show and characters grow and develop so I believe it's a good thing). Rollins is just amazing!!

[@alexiasantos7955]

Totally agree! I don’t miss stabler, though I am excited to see how benson feels when he pays a visit.

Rollins is such an amazing character. She helped the daughter of the man who kidnapped her and threatened her life (multiple times) with her own gun but still found it in her heart to help her. Not sure I could separate my feelings like that even if I wanted to. She had been through so much, im glad she is where she is now. Happy.

What's with the soft focus around the edges?

Probably to add effect since we are looking back at the season. Kind of when movies or games show a scene from the past, they always have the soft focus around the edges.

[@mariehernandez6929]

Rollins and Carisi always together.

[@cma1676]

She is an amazing actress but I don't like the attitude of her character towards Carisi : he has always been supportive of her and still is, and he was here for her kids. But when he did one thing for himself, becoming an ADA, she couldn't be sincerely happy for him.

[@BetheasByteReloaded]

Have you not been paying attention to this clip? "She lost her partner... but not her friend." Carisi was both to her. In fact, fans are still clamoring for the two to hook up!

[@cma1676]

@@BetheasByteReloaded Yes, I understand that it was hard for her to lose a partner, but she could still have been happy for him at the same time. On the contrary, she says he is a moron to believe that she was okay with his decision. I feel like she always put her emotions first (even if, with the terrible challenges she had to face, both in her childhood and as an adult, it's understandable). I still believe that Carisi is a much better friend to Rollins that she is to him. I didn't mean to imply that they aren't friends, or that she doesn't care for him ; it's just that I feel like she cares about her a lot more than Carisi's happiness. And I know that some people want (wants ? ) them together, not me ; but at this point, Carisi deserves so much to have a (happy) love story, even just for a couple of episodes, that I could settle for the both of them together.

Then I want Rollins to get pregnant with twin boys so their family will be complete with 2 boys and 2 girls. How sweet would that be?
