Olivia Benson Deserves Better.
Y’all, I’m sorry (though not really), but SVU is really exhausting me lately with the constant trauma they are putting Olivia through. I’m so damn tired of it. I’m tired FOR her. They hurt her and hurt her and hurt her. Over and over again and the worst part? They NEVER follow up with it. Never show us continuity in terms of how she’s dealing with it or how she’s coping and never shows her with her therapist anymore or with FRIENDS. It is NOT hard to write personal moments in this show. They used to do it all the time, but now it’s just filled with unnecessary trauma, cringe worthy cases, drama for the sake of shock value. Warren and the writers just hurt her over and over again.Â
Someone on Twitter asked why that had to be her Christmas and WL answered with “she saved the city.”
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Yeah, and at what cost? Just for more unnecessary trauma? To sweep under the rug? When does SHE get a break? It’s soooo depressing to watch time and time again and at least OC gives us that. At least they showed Olivia with a smile last week, looking genuinely happy and excited, but I’m sad we got NO follow up in either shows tonight. No confirmation that she went, no phone call between them, NOTHING.
I’m just so tired for Olivia. I am literally in tears typing this because of how bad SVU has become. Because of how horribly they treat this character. She’s saved the city SO many times, but they literally cannot give her ANY happiness. They literally cannot let anyone take care of her. Not even Elliot who ALWAYS did in the past. Who ALWAYS tried.Â
And on Christmas of all damn days? She couldn’t spend Christmas with her son!? How screwed up is that!? They really couldn’t have had the case before the holiday so Olivia could be with her son. So we could see some happy moments with Olivia and Noah? And them being involved with the case just did not make sense to me. At all. I’m just... I’m tired and I needed to rant. I needed to vent.
Olivia Benson deserves better. SO MUCH BETTER.
