The Law & Order: SVU Pilot Revisited

In honor of Law & Order: SVU‘s 500th episode, we took a look back at the show’s very first installment, titled “Payback.” Prepare yourself for baby faces, the old precinct set, Olivia’s no-nonsense ponytail and Munch being Munch. If you’re a relatively recent SVU acolyte, get ready to meet the original crew. And if you’ve been around since the beginning, see how much of the inaugural episode you remember.
