Top 5 Most Nauseating Law & Order: SVU Episodes You'd Never Want To Rewatch
These are the ones to skip if you see them broadcasting.
If there is one thing that Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is known for, it is the craziest, most twisted crime stories. What makes them even worse is that some of the cases are adapted from real life, and it's not uncommon for them to turn out to be the most gruesome.
Of course, if you know you are easily triggered by the topics of violence and sexual assault, this is not a TV series for you as a whole. But SVU has some episodes that are too hard to watch for even the most loyal fans.
Here are 5 episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit that you may want to skip, lest you lose your mind.
Remember Me Too (S19E24)
Both episodes 23 and 24 are hard to watch, but the season finale has one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the entire series. When Pamela Stone finally recognizes her brother, ADA Peter Stone, she runs towards him only to be shot. This moment can shake anyone who deals with family issues, especially siblings.
Townhouse Incident (S17E11)
One of the most intense scenes with Mariska Hargitay as Olivia Benson, which unfortunately was never revisited. Benson ends up in a situation where she has to sit and listen to a 16-year-old being assaulted in the next room. The moment is so scary and heartbreaking that fans remember covering their ears with their hands while watching.
Surrender Benson (S15E01)
The entire arc with William Lewis deserves a mention on this list, but episode 1 of season 15 stands out for how unexpected it was. While the tension was high from the moment Lewis kidnapped Benson, no one could have predicted how bad things would get for her.
Man Up (S20E01)
Another premiere that's downright hard to watch because it hits so close to home for so many people. In this episode, the victim of the assault is the son who was abused by his father because he couldn't kill a rabbit. With so many survivors of sexual assault at the hands of a family member, it's not surprising that not many people want to watch it again.
Heartfelt Passages (S17E23)
The finale that brings many people to tears in a matter of minutes is the final episode of Mike Dodds, who was tragically shot and died of a blood clot. The episode holds such power over people's emotions and captures the grief so perfectly that many viewers simply refuse to watch it again, skipping it every time it comes on TV.
