Shark Bytes

Sadly, SVU finally jumped the shark this season. Not one episode has been up to par and the idea that Kathleen is all of a sudden an addict, then it never gets mentioned again, is ludicrous. So is the fact that the baby ia already close to the size of a toddler when he was only "born" last season. Mariska is officially a butter face and Meloni is looking turkey-necked.

This show used to be one of my favorite shows. But in the last few seasons, its gotten completely rediculous. It used to be about a nasty crime, they would solve it we all go home. Now there is always some left-wing political message written in the plot, and the show is too much about the personal lives of the main characters. Plus, the way some stupid event ties into the actual crime is getting a bit old. After this weeks episode, I've oficially had enough of this crap.

The new DA is just so lame..

"Crusader" my butt, it's like she walked out of a bad fanfic. As far as I'm concerned, she's the apex of the arc of the jump over the shark.

Not to mention every single episode since the start of season ten has been painfully, painfully stupid.

i hated when they brought in michaela mcmanus.she's so dry and she isn't old enough to play an ADA.She has no chemistry with the other actors.It jumped when they kept focusing on Olivia and Elliott and not giving anythng to anyone else.Bring back Diane Neal before the show continues to jump the shark even more.

At some point during the course of the show--it's hard to pin down exactly where--the cast started castastrophically failing every single case they touched. Not a single rape crosses through their office without at least two innocent victims getting arrested, beaten, publically humiliated, or mistakenly shot by a vigilante. The SVU department must be costing the NYPD their entire discretionary budget in lawsuits.

Anyway, I vote for "everyone got stupid" as the point at which it jumped.

They jumped a long time ago. I recall one episode when they all broke the law and got away with it. I said ok, that's just one episode. But then, it has been happening in almost every episode.

Also, too many guest stars. Even the cast complained about this. You can tell Mariska does not want to be on this show any more.

As for the person who said there is too much focus on Stabler, you need to get real. If you had seen this show from day one, you would have seen that the show started out this way. Can you not see the parallels between Stabler and the criminals he catches? If he were not a cop, he would be a perp.

Am I the only one that thinks the new DA is totally annoying??? For some reason I really don't like her character. Also I agree with the person below me that there is way too much focus on Stabler.

I used to love this show, not any longer. Way too much focus on Elliot Stabler and his family. Not nearly enough Munch and Ice-T. I was sorry to see Adam Beach leave, I enjoyed his time on the show.

it hasnt jumped but wasnt a fan of the dani beck charecter, annoying as hell, can understand why they would allow this rookie into svu, she gets over dramatic and i just dont watch the episodes shes in anymore because i cant stand her character like honestly the episode were she takes the lil girl in wtf and then the kid lights the aprtment on fire, not a fan

This show jumped in the episode where the girl had Turner Syndrome. For those who don't recall, the disease made her look like she was twelve, but she was actually over the age of consent. But Stabler wouldn't let it go and stalked and assaulted her boyfriend, and got away with it. In the original Law & Order, characters got fired or suspended when they broke the law, but here it happens all the time with no consequence.
Also, after a while you start to notice that every episode is exactly the same. Someone gets raped, Benson and Stabler ruin an innocent person's life and don't care, they find the real suspect, it turns out to be some grand internation conspiracy, etc.

Tonight's episode a gang member they are chasing falls in a trash truck, while it is being compacted, the cops yell at the guy to turn it off, he has headphones on so he can't hear him so the guy get's crushed. I keep thinking to myself "this is stupid" "this is stupid" "aw, give me a freaking break, turn off the thing, come on at least someone has to have intelligence in this plot" NOPE! he gets crushed by an incompetent trash compacter guy. STUPID.

This show is heading into ER-like territory,I though they could avoid this but I guess not all for the stupid ratings.

This show is getting crappy. Unbelievable.

jumped day 1

The latest show was one of the worst I've ever seen. First you've got the seventeen year old who shows up whining with a voice like an air raid siren. His acting was so over the top
it was like a Mad TV sketch. Then you've got the pervert with the website who gives the obligatory Law and Order SVU speech about how homosexuality is inborn and can't be changed, only this time they compare it to being a pedophile. Lastly, they have the picture of Stabler's kid on the website so he can go off, yet again. Lastly, if viewers weren't bashed over the head enough with homosexuality, the stepfather(who jacked off in the hamper on his son's clothes!) sodomizes the teen with his son's baseball bat??!!! Watching this episode was like bathing in urine. Absolutely disgusting. I am done with this show.

Jumped again last night. Stabler beating up the guy who then goes out & murders someone. That will keep him off the show just long enough to finish the movies he is making. Then they can bring him back with no charges.

Olivia and Stabler always living on the edge of being fired is getting a little old.
