Law and Order - Special Victims Unit is my favorite network TV show. I've been watching it for about 20 years. It's not something I watch before bed but definately something I watch if I have free time on the weekend and I usually end up watching several episodes of at once. 948
It's about the sex crimes / child abouse unit of officers in New York and all the crimes they come up against every day. It really let's you get to know all the regular characters in the show so in addition to the crimes they are trying to solve, you are also interested in them individually. It's always a great storyline and always incorporates strories about real life stuff going on in the world today which I appreciate. 962
