When the stories they told were actually about cases the show was interesting. When it became the Olivia Benson show then the boredom set in. The last few seasons it seems to be all about who she is in a relationship with, the adoption etc. Fair enough they have gone into the background of some of the other characters but does anyone care about the new ones? Rollins, honesty I couldn’t care less about her family issues & the child she has. Carisi bores me to death. Barba seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth.
It needs to go back to proper storytelling. The cases were what made the show earlier on.

Do you remember the rest of it… “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. Lol. A show without character development probably wouldn’t have lasted this many seasons to begin with.
