But with this crossover event, the 'Law & Order' franchise faces a much more mundane problem. With such a pro-police narrative, it's no surprise that 'Law & Order' has faced massive criticism, and been labelled 'copaganda' by some (via 34th Street).

This three-episode arc comes right on the tails of the most recent 'Law & Order' political heat. This failure brings in Organized Crime and SVU units to find out who the shooter was and why he killed her. For the first time ever, NBC is airing a historic three-hour Law & Order cross over event, that will reunite the cast of Law & Order, Law &. Cosgrove does his best to save Ava from a mysterious shooter, but is too late. In a scene that was too real for some fans, it turns out that the girl is a refugee from the war in Ukraine named Ava (Alexandra Avezova) whose troubles have only just begun. The longer the writers procrastinate with the disclosure, it feels less organic and more like they’re just putting off making any choices about Rollisi’s future.As 'Law & Order' only does so well, the crossover starts with a story ripped straight from the headlines. During a particularly heated debate with his daughter about her natural fears about violence in schools, Detective Frank Cosgrove (Jeffrey Donovan) is pulled away after seeing a girl in need. I’m curious about the shift for Carisi to homicide cases, and whether this is to set the stage for the L&O revival, to reduce potential conflicts of interest as he and Rollins delay disclosing their relationship, or both. I really hope they don’t assassinate his character with this return, but I’m afraid they’re sacrificing him so that the Barba/Benson fans give up before she gets together with Stabler. The last time Barba returned, I was rooting for Carisi but I was thrilled to have Esparza back and relieved I could still respect Barba and understand him taking the case. But Rollins’ return in last season’s SVU/Law & Order: Organized Crime crossover event gave us some very important insight into her state of mind since leaving the precinct. How much more can Stabler, Benson and their families take?! But worry always feels lighter when it’s shared, so now that we’ve filled you in, we turn it over to you: Hit the comments with your predictions/hopes/fears for the December crossover!īarba and Carisi are two of my favorite SVU characters. NBC has officially announced that the casts of each spin. Not gonna lie: Chaiken’s comment has us a wee bit worried. The Law & Order franchise will make history when all three series return in the fall.

And lots and lots of Christmas carols,” she continues, voice sounding slightly more serious as she adds, “I’ll just say: I hope we don’t ruin Christmas for you for all time.” So… Claymation and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer? “Exactly. “It will be a very Law & Order Christmas,” Chaiken says, chuckling at our consternation.

Wheatley considers his future.” Hmm… might those two things be connected in some way? Per the synopsis for the hour, which is titled “The Christmas Episode”: “When Eli goes missing, Stabler asks Benson and the task force to help him find his son. On Thursday, February 25, the first promo for the crossover episode aired, previewing Mariska Hargitay ’s Olivia Benson’s long. Then, at 10, the Stabler family’s newest emergency takes center stage.
