A lot of the episodes with queer characters are incredibly dated and use outdated terminology. Sign up now and get the first 2 chapters of The Last Good Girl. This was a strong episode blending serious, cutting-edge issues like gay-on-gay hate crimes with the sparkling entertainment provided by dressing up the detectives to infiltrate gay bars and strip clubs.

Criminal Hatred: Directed by Adam Bernstein. With Mariska Hargitay, Danny Pino, Kelli Giddish, Richard Belzer. SVU and the DA's office struggle with finding the right strategy in a case dealing with a gay man who is picking up and then attacking closeted gay married men. However, when the series first premiered back in , it mainly centered around white, female victims, with the occasional male murder victim thrown in. The first male sexual assault victim was not featured until season 3's "Ridicule," and as the title suggests, his case was not taken seriously by most people around him. There were also few detectives of color included in the cast during this period; from season 2 onward, Fin Ice-T replaced Monica Jeffries Michelle Hurd as the sole Black detective.

Learning Curve: Directed by Jonathan Herron. With Mariska Hargitay, Danny Pino, Kelli Giddish, Richard Belzer.
