I love this show and always have. Love the cast and especially the character of Olivia Benson. I am conservative and do not, as many feel there is any political agenda. It is very realistic for the time we are living. I do feel there is not enough "feel good" parts to a show that is so intense. Olivia rarely shows her beautiful smile anymore and I miss that from the past. Lighten up and enjoy the show, both the cast and the public.
