Explained simply
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is a long-running American police drama centred on a New York team that investigates sexual assault and child abuse cases. Mariska Hargitay plays Olivia Benson, the unit’s lead detective, and Ice-T plays fellow detective Fin Tutuola.
Stephanie March plays Alexandra Cabot, a prosecutor who has worked with the detectives in earlier seasons. Prosecutors handle criminal cases in court, while detectives investigate them, so Cabot’s role connects the police work with the legal process. The series airs on NBC and streams on Peacock.
