Criminal Law
The deaths of three women with the same name lead Fontana and Green to the nine-year-old conviction of Leland Barnes, who had shot and killed his wife in an office full of people. With two of the three witnesses against him dead and Jack McCoy on the hit list, the detectives struggle to determine how Barnes, who has been in prison the entire time, got someone on the outside to kill the only people who could keep him in jail. The investigation leads them to Leland's two sons, with surprising results.
There are few TV series that can boast a run as long and successful as 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'. With an impressive 25 seasons and over 550 episodes to its name, this American crime drama has carved out a special place in the hearts of viewers worldwide. It’s now your turn to join millions of fans by adding this riveting show to your BetaSeries account.
The series plunges viewers into the dark underbelly of New York City, where detectives from the Special Victims Unit investigate sexually oriented crimes. This includes harrowing cases involving rape, pedophilia, domestic violence, and abuses towards vulnerable populations, such as children, disabled individuals, and elderly victims. However, it's not just about solving cases; it's also about these detectives' struggle to balance their personal lives without letting their work's gruesome nature affect them.
At the helm is Detective Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), who grows from being a detective to becoming the commanding officer of the unit. Her partner Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) shares an equally compelling arc before his departure in season 12. Their journey forms one part of what makes this show so gripping. The supporting ensemble cast includes actors like Ice-T as Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola and Richard Belzer as John Munch – both bringing unique dimensions to their characters.
