@@DoubleOhTheG Before joining SVU, Benson must have worked in Homicide until 1998, and she was probably promoted to Detective before or after joining SVU.
@@thebestofdeadoralivedoa2005 Benson wasn’t a Detective until 1998 when she was promoted to Detective and transferred to SVU.

He’s the most experienced officer in SVU because of his longevity in SVU.
It's hard to believe Serena had mellowed out before she had died. Seeing her here and knowing what she did to Olivia, I'm conflicted that Noah doesn't know the full story of his adoptive grandmother or if he should know.
Few American people know about and remember how horrific Bosnia war has been... Please, if you ever have the opportunity, watch "Savior", with Dennis Quaid, produced by Oliver Stone, directed by Peter Antonijević in 1998. It will give you a slight idea of what happened between 1992 and 1995 in Croatia and Bosnia, with more than 100,000 casualties. I was there as an UN peacekeeper with the French Army and what i witnessed still haunts me after 30 years. And it's happening again nowadays in Ukraine...
Many years ago, I was working with a young woman who revealed to me that she was repeatedly raped during that war. She was in Canada then, and she told me that she dated, but only black men. I was wondering why and asked her...she said because never was she raped by a black man. I've lost touch with her, but i'm still to this day troubled by all the stories she revealed to me...
Kudos to the showmakers for using a Czech sounding surname Panachek. Sure, it's americanized in its spelling but I can see it being a Czech surname. And Steven is an American version of a Czech name. So I can see a guy named Štepán Panáček changing his name to Steven Panachek. It's just a small thing but often when American show or filmakers make some guy a Czech, the name is often Russian sounding.
I was two months old when the show was released and since then I always love this show because we both shared the same year 1999 that makes it even stronger relationship ❤ But can you believe that I started watching SVU at the age of the appropriate time 17t years old and I am 24 years old about to be 25 this December 12 I can’t believe it. I am a miracle.❤ I love all SVU characters, but if I had to choose, I would choose Olivia is my favorite
I agree. That kind of wife is almost as bad as one who knew their kid was being abused and did nothing about it. Like, b*tch, he could've easily been doing it to women in your building; he could've been doing it the whole time you knew him and you're really going to stand there and say "it was just politics"? Miss me with that BS
@@RocketRoketto that character dressed in green back in the 1995 power rangers movie. Olivia was originally supposed to play that character but was fired. Don’t know why she was fired though.
Please no. Stabler is great on Organized Crime, OC is also actually interesting with it's serialized stories. SVU has been doing the same song and dance for 20 years.
Look, I agree that I want Stabler to have a guest appearance this season of SVU, but OC is so well written and Season 4 quite literally had me on the edge of my seat every week
@@loompsterproductionsIf it is also written, why was it almost cancelled? It seems more like a soap opera about the Stabler family dramas than what its name suggests.
Best detective duo in the series
Benson and Stabler will indeed always be very special.
Was there any doubt?
Munch and Fin were better
The debut of an iconic duo
More specifically, it's there first on-screen case since they've been partners for a year at that point.

Olivia’s hair looked the best in season 1
@@RandomBurner Especially in the opening credits image of her.
We need a montage from every season.
Benson and Stabler will always have a special place in my heart ❤
Feels like a lifetime ago. Cragen was Captain, Munch was alive to lighten the mood, and before Elliot mellowed down.
Isn’t Munch still alive, just retired?
@@bluebay1031 when Richard Belzer passed away they wrote into the show so did Munch.

Love, love this series for years since 1999!! 💗
The origin of the best duo in SVU history
Olivia so fine she hasn't aged a single day from the late 1990's to 2024 she's the ultimate beauty
Did you know her mom was Jayne Mansfield?! Mariska is literal Hollywood royalty. Being a bombshell is in her blood.
I was two months old when the show was released and since then I always love this show because we both shared the same year 1999 that makes it even stronger relationship ❤

I began watching SVU back in 2021. I have been missing out 20 yrs of one hell of a series.
For the pst 3 yrs I have been watching this show
One of the best duo ever! Mariska did well when Chris left but I will always love the seasons with these 2
"That was just politics" that line always infuriated me

Birth of one of the greatest duos in history
Where it all began.
On her first day, Olivia is warned that she used her only get-out-of-jail-free card. Her bravery impressed me on the spot.
@@mikebasil4832 nice theory !
BEST TWO DETECTIVES EVER
I just watched this episode tonight for the first time
This was real SVU before the drama show it became nowadays…
It’s not even on now days 😂 all re runs
@RicheeBe It is the 26th season premiered on October 3rd
Stabler and Benson are meant to be ❤
I would have thought Olivia would have had a get out of jail free card in a season finale, not the pilot!
Best duo and right off the bat you side with the suspect in this case
Love the cast.i have watched the series over again. Very entertaining
There were a bunch of references to Benson being attractive early on. You could really see it here
Such a great first episode of this series
To think that Olivia Benson was originally supposed to be Dulcea. Now there’s a picture
A what?
@@RocketRoketto that character dressed in green back in the 1995 power rangers movie. Olivia was originally supposed to play that character but was fired. Don’t know why she was fired though.
oh so they were already in love, got ya.
25 years ago... where it all started.
We got this in the UK a bit later than you, but still it's really been that long ago?? Loved it from day 1 but not now, too preachy and no Stabler.
@@KevinN-df8eo My mom was pregnant with me. Most of the fandom is probably younger than the show at this point
the old theme song is the best

The very first case between benson and stabler and The rest is history
PTSD defense
I thought a self defense plea could have been applicable. As a jury member I would have bought that.
The criminal get justice wow
when does benson retire?
Olivia is a total Babe. I saw this first run and Oliva had me
This definitely paints svu in a whole new light and not a good one...
I'm going to try to filing epo out on Chad and female employee where they cant be around eachother
Who wants Stabler back on the new season of SVU than Organized Crime?
Please no. Stabler is great on Organized Crime, OC is also actually interesting with it's serialized stories. SVU has been doing the same song and dance for 20 years.

No thank you. I was disappointed when he came back.

No Stabler is a great cop, but never had the empathy required for SVU - surprised that he lasted as long as he did
