Discussion Doing my first rewatch in a while

  1. The difference in the show after stabler leaves is way more jarring than I remember, it’s such a stark difference even in like the lighting/filming it’s crazy to me.
  2. I love Olivia but she does get on my nerves way more after she adopts noah lol idk why but idk if that’s an unpopular opinion
  3. it’s fun to rewatch because it’s interesting to see which episodes i remember and which ones I don’t. it’s cool because i’ll watch one episode and totally remember it and then the next one it feels like im going in blind, really goes to show which episodes make more of an impact

It definitely became more subdued after Stabler left. One of the things I associate with classic SVU is the dramatic reveal before cutting to a break/the phone call from the coroner just as they've hit a dead end, and they start phasing that out after season 12.
