One of my favorites is the one from the incel episode where the guy spent 10 years hating women because his crush never called him back after he asked her to prom and then ended up killing her fiancé and raping her. She never called back because he left the message on a wrong number. Imagine a while decade living an angry life over a little mistake.

I can... He leaves for over 10 years, no contact, returns, and Olivia STILL hasn't moved on from him when they make up? Seriously? They also ruined Olivia and Barba's friendship to force Bensler to work. And - unpopular opinion, maybe - but I feel like Amaro would've been better for her. He was there for her when William Lewis happened, when Stabler wasn't. Stabler's missed too much for a relationship to work out. It's even just in the way they look at each other - Olivia and Nick cared for each other SO much. They clearly just wanted the best for each other. Liv admitted that she grew more with him in 5 years than the 12 years she'd been with Stabler. That's a LOT of time... THAT'S the sort of relationship you want, too. One where you can build each other up. Not the one where the person you love doesn't show up for you when you need him the most. Just my opinion - not trying to start a war!

Can this judge make more appearances. Love her!

[@MusaTheGenie]

The last one I gave that episode w standing ovation in my living I was shook!

[@Ray_V]

#1 I can't remember the last time an svu judge took action like that. Most of the time they're combative with the ADA. Would love to see her make more appearances.

[@shakebake3846]

#3 was my favorite episode

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Stabler didn't like that.

[@courtneypalmer2331]

Ikr

[@KaraMorassco]

Neither did Liv. But she did it to save Elliot.

[@mariahrheaa]

my favorite episodes of all time are all of these episodes omg.

[@karimmelikian934]

the one where the rogue forensic guy wants to kill Elliott I think is the best one. amazing acting by Liv.

#7 was based off of John Money, the "pioneer" of modern gender identity. He managed to convince the parents of twin boys to raise one as a girl (he had a botched circumcision). What people don't like to mention is that he forced the twins play out sex acts with each other.

[@komikbookgeek]

They did mention actually. "Put us into our postitions"

[@bentencho]

IIRC, his case was always used as an example of how gender is nurture rather than nature. Even though the guy had issues with his identify for most of his life, multiple surgeries going back/forth.... eventually committed suicide.

[@komikbookgeek]

@bentencho its something that was used as nurture vs nature but yeah once the kids got to be adults and started speaking out and such, the opinion reversed.

Number 2 was so messed up. The little girl was actually happy.

[@FrenkTheJoy]

Me, who's never seen a single episode of SVU: uh-huh, fascinating.

[@kesharaa2355]

That episode with Alex coming back will forever stay in my mind. I’m now on season 22 so I’ll come back when I’m up to date to watch #1 Update #1 was shocking but it wasn’t the biggest twist. I think #2 has the right to that (based on these options in the video)

[@mtssman]

Ever since the very first episode this show is known among my family members as "Law & Order: SUV".

[@matildelampredi813]

BENSLER forever

[@franciscochoque9090]

yes

[@KingdomHeart556]

That first one oh man that was so satisfying

[@keepmeinurorbit]

"Your funeral is tomorrow" 😭

[@placiidpunk4196]

I loved the noel fisher episodes! He deserved more!!!

[@barbaralawlor5967]

I think Stabler held Olivia back, she came into her own when he left. Love Finn.

[@oxkit0katxo413]

Idk. Thought she kicked a$$ w Stabler as her partner too. I think so much so that the producers knew after he left the show that they would HAVE to bring Benson into a more prominent role to keep the fans happy & keep the show’s ratings from tanking. It worked out bc Mariska Hargitay is 🔥

[@carlasassone4461]

Together they worked great, but once he left we got to see really how great of an officer she really is

[@EbrahimaHendricks]

I agree.The judge did what needed to be DONE - for JUSTICE TO PREVAIL.In this day and age we certainly need more judges of her calibre.Thank you Judge that justice was served.

[@risinghopper1213]

Number 2 messed me up. Like damn, I didn’t see it coming

[@swimfast724]

OMG #4 was sooooo heartbreaking. The poor girl, the poor piano teacher, the poor sister(even though she killed the little girl). I've never ever heard of a mom sexually abusing her DAUGHTERS. That was the most sickening episode

[@addystanton8041]

i’m not going to lie number nine was one of my favorite svu episodes. however i do think that lauren coopers death should be on this list

[@pixied1028]

Yeah it was shocking especially the end. After 22 years and top ten need cut it i guess go with top 25 or 50.

[@Erin-vu1tt]

Best show on tv... ever!
