So, you're a fan of "Law & Order: SVU," but are you are a little too obsessed? If you any of the following statements are true for you, chances are your love for the "Special Victim's Unit" is a bit out-of-control.
1. You know the opening statement by heart.
In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories. Dun dun.
2. You sing along to the theme song... even though it's instrumental.
Duh duh, do do do do -- doooo, doooooooo...
3. You can tell the season by Olivia's haircut.
And you're absolutely OK with that.
4. You can name all of Elliot Stabler's kids.
Maureen, Kathleen, Dickie, Elizabeth, and Eli. No shame.
5. You unhappily watch the newer seasons for Olivia and Finn.
And because you must watch every, single episode.
6. You've referred to Olivia Benson as 'Badass Benson' on more than one occasion.
It's an acceptable way to refer to Detective Benson.
7. You live for guest stars.
Like when Amanda Seyfried played a survivor trying to protect their assailant.
Or when Hilary Duff played a pseudo-Casey Anthony.
Or when Jesse McCartney was a member of the abstinence club.
Or when Mischa Barton played a pregnant hooker.
8. The friendship between Munch and Finn is unbearably adorable to you.
9. Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler will forever be your OTP.
But you still want Elliot and his wife to stay together.
10. You understand how great the lines are out of context, and they are always hilarious.
The script is ridiculous, but that's all a part of the appeal.
11. So are all the one-liners.
Oh Finn, no one understands white people.
12. You're a fan of SVU memes.
More like Detective BABEler, amiright?
13. These episodes truly break your heart.
Season 15 Episode 5; Munch's retirement.
Season 12 Episode 24; Elliot's last episode.
Season 15 Episode 11; Cragen's retirement.
14. And no matter how many times you've seen each episode, you always tune in to USA's Special Victims marathons.
**Cancels everything to watch your faves in action.**
