Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Originally called Sex Crimes, executive producer Dick Wolf wisely opted for something less lurid when the second in the inexhaustible Law & Order franchise hit the air in 1999. Still, as the opening voiceover makes clear, the "sexually based offenses" investigated by New York's Special Victims Unit can be "especially heinous." Wolf penned series premier "Payback," which sets the scene, but not the tone. It's a lively, if uneasy mix between horror (rape) and comedy (risqué banter). As the first season progressed, humor would be written out altogether (leaving Richard Belzer's Homicide-derived John Munch with increasingly less to do), and less emphasis would be placed on the home lives of this "elite squad of dedicated detectives." Mostly, "Payback" introduces us to the unit, centering around partners Olivia Benton (Mariska Hargitay) and Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni). For two people with so little in common, they make a terrific team--arguably one of TV's best. Stabler is married with four children; Benton is single and her closest relationship is with her mother (Elizabeth Ashley). While Stabler can get a little rough with suspects, Benton tends to over-empathize with the victims. They report to the no-nonsense Captain Cragen (Law & Order vet Dann Florek). Like the parent program's Lenny Briscoe, he's a recovering alcoholic. Dean Winters and Michelle Hurd round out the rock-solid cast. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

This is unnecessary to buy at this point. Just get the entire first season and save yourself some money.

I love this series with all my heart. I mean every Tuesday night at 10 PM I am right there in front of the TV waiting for the show to come on. And I've seen this episode many, many times. The acting is amazing, and the writing in this episode is superb. But, come on y'all. Why buy just one episode when you can get the entire first season, filled with a lot more classic 1st season episodes such as "Stalked", "Closure", "Bad Blood", and so many other wonderful episodes that started this fantastic ...

This is the beginning of something that has snowballed into 4 different shows, all as great as the other ones.

As a fan of the show I KNOW this is not a spin off, this was actually an individual show which was to be titled "Sex Crimes". The network decided to type this into the Law and Order show which was already a hit. This show is insitful and riviting. Each deals with a series of social and moral issues. This is an excellent show which deserves to be watched by all.
