I have to say that the new additions to the SVU characters are not jiving. There is a lack of cohesiveness within the department. I am a long time fan of all the LAW ORDER shows. However, season 24 has just been a letdown in my opinion. Not really digging the crossover's with criminal intent. I know that we cannot go back in time and have the original cast, but they need to do some thing or this show is going to keep losing steam and longtime fans. I go back and watch the older shows and there's just something magical. I really hope that the writers of the law and orders franchise pull it together.
