Another spin-off of the NBC juggernaut "Law & Order," the series focuses on detectives Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson of New York City's elite Special Victims Unit, charged with investigating cases considered particularly heinous. Also joining the unit is Detective John Munch, a recent transfer from the Baltimore homicide unit, and his partner, Detective Brian Cassidy, a newcomer who worships his new partner. Their pursuits are paired with concern and sympathy for the victims, and each episode features new crimes to solve and new emotional and personal struggles for the detectives handling this draining job.
