Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

New York has rarely looked less welcoming than it does in Dick Wolf's gritty series about a sex crimes unit in the city. LAW AND ORDER - SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT returns for its third series with an impressive list of guest stars, including Bobby Cannavale, Eric Stoltz, John Ritter, and Henry Winkler. Diane Neal, who would later star as A. D. A. Casey Novak, plays a woman accused of raping a male stripper at a bachelorette party. In addition to the stellar regular cast (particularly Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay), B. D. Wong has a recurring role as forensic psychiatrist Dr. George Hwang. SVU never shies away from real life controversies, and this series's finale centred on a sex scandal in the Catholic Church.
