"For anyone who has seen the last 4 seasons of Law and Order: SVU, know what I mean when I say this is the last classic season of the show.
From season 6 and on, the show has dealt with, divorces, the "will they or won't they" quiestion of the Benson/Stabler romance, choosing partners over civilians, FBI agent and possible love interest of Benson, and more recently, baby drama. They'll be little of that in the season 4 box set of SVU. This season follows the protocol of seasons 1-3, which is very little character growth and little to no romantic moments between any of the characters, save episode 12, Risk, in which the characters go undercover and there is a few brief romantic moments between Benson/Stabler.
Now please, do not get me wrong, while this season contains the few elements of the recent episodes, this is still a wonderful season, filled with character driven plots, very memorable episodes, as well as little known gems. Such as the one I mentioned above "Risk" One of the more famous SVU episodes in which the team deals with a drug dealer, and has every member go undercover. Another memorable episode is "Futility" (Or the episode commonly known among fans as 'the one where Fred Savage hits Olivia') And another wonderful episode, and my first ever episode ever in the history of this show, is "Damaged" where a 16 year old sociopath and her sister are involved in a shootout, but the circumstances aren't as clear cut as it may seem.
All in all this is a wonderful season, one which I encourage any SVU fan to buy, and all family and friends of an SVU fanatic to buy seeing how this box set goes on sale December 4th, just in time for the Holidays."
Those were the days...

"This is one of the great seasons of SVU! Remember the good old times before it all went downhill? When the writing was still focused and superb, the drama was in the cases, nobody's wardrobe made you laugh, and smart-is-sexy Alex Cabot was the ADA? These DVDs bring them back - at their best. Featuring such much-beloved episodes as "Fallacy," this DVD-box is a must for any SVU fan, and anyone wanting to meet the coolest member of the "law and order"-family, before it lost its heart and mind."

"I have the entire series. I started watching this program when they first came out on TV. The writing is great and so is the acting. They change scenes and keep everything interesting and moving. Try it--You'll like the suspense.
