"Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" -- "In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories."
This hard-hitting and emotional series from NBC's Law & Order brand chronicles the life and crimes of the Special Victims Unit of the New York Police Department, the elite squad of detectives who investigate sexually based crimes. Created by Emmy Award-winning producer Dick Wolf, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has been picked up for its thirteenth season. Combined with Law & Order -- the second longest-running drama series in the history of television --, Law & Order: Criminal Intent and Law & Order: Trial by Jury the "Law & Order" franchise reached its 900th episode in the summer of 2010.
The drama follows Detective Olivia Benson, whose difficult past -- a product of rape -- is the reason she joined the unit. Sergeant John Munch, a transfer from Baltimore's homicide unit, brings his acerbic wit, conspiracy theories and street-honed investigative skills to the team. And his partner, Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola, adds his unique sense of humor and investigative experience, making him a formidable match for Munch. Also joining them in season 13 are Detective Nick Amaro, and Detective Amanda Rollins.
