Theres no question why its as highly acclaimed as it is.

But, as is the case with any long-running show, there are bound to be some lulls.

From then on, every episode became a combination of police and legal procedurals.

allowing viewers to see a small piece of the full picture.

But in recent seasons that has sort of dwindled.

This series follows the Special Victims Unit, a specially trained squad of detectives in the New York City Police Department that investigate sexually related crimes.

Its not gone, of course.

The show is stillLaw and Order, and the Law will never fully go away.

This series follows the Special Victims Unit, a specially trained squad of detectives in the New York City Police Department that investigate sexually related crimes.

Its not his character thats causing the disconnect.

Frankly, if thats what it takes to get more Carisi scenes, Ill take it.

It would honestly be interesting to see Carisi pull double duty.

Law and Order: SVU

Although, he wouldnt be able to prosecute his own perps, which could make things complicated.

Carisi is far too interesting and lovable a character to not be utilized enough.

So,SVU, like give us more courtroom scenes and give us much more Carisi.
