It's almost time to watch Law & Order: SVU season 22 online, as Olivia Benson is back, and on the case. The long-running NBC drama returns to TVs and as usual, it's ripping cases right from the headlines. The season 22 premiere episode addresses both the COVID-19 pandemic and police brutality.
The Law & Order: SVU season 22 premiere finds Benson (Mariska Hargitay), Tutuola (Ice T) and the rest of the squad wearing masks and getting temperature checks. They're also called upon to solve an assault in Central Park, which requires them to grapple with their own blind spots about race as well as deal with a community that is losing trust in the police.
