Calling for the resignations of Michael Chernuchin and Julie Martin as executive producers on 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,' the started it's 20th season as of September 2018 and there is very little celebration of the NBC series coming from both producers & the network. The 20th season, all the stops should be pulled, not feel like the series is coming to a stop.

There is WAY too much to go into descriptive detail so I'll just bullet point it:

* Storylines primarily focused on Peter Stone/Philip Winchester.

** ICE T, Kelli Giddish & Peter Scanavino are basically just there now.

*** Olivia Margaret Benson who? More like social justice warrior for everyone she passes!

**** So nobody from previous seasons of SVU come back in season 20/or revisiting of old storylines?!

***** The originality of the writing has gone! WHY are there SO MANY "ripped from the headlines" episodes?! It's Crazy!

* The lack of promotion for the series.

** No guest scoop & regular website interviews/press releases.

*** Promos shortened to 15 seconds due to cutting the promotion budget with NBC.

**** The lack of conversation and presence with the fandom on social media.

***** When they are on social media they are rude with fans they disagree with.

RATINGS are DOWN - coinciding with the constant creative changes that have been happening to 'SVU' since season 18 and the series moving to NBC's "2nd dead night". SVU needs a change/chance and it needs to start TODAY! The best way for the show to continue? Call on NBC & Wolf Films to ask Michael Chernuchin and Julie Martin to step down as executive producers immediately.

Seeing this momentum grow confirms that I am not the only longtime fan who feels neglected by the current leadership. It is incredibly validating to know that so many of you are just as frustrated by the state of a show we used to love.

SVU has been through so much change in recent years, but I think the direction it's going now will finally do it in. It's like they want to purposly sabotage the show. It's one thing when it's all about Olivia, always has been. But now Olivia AND Stone? They are pushing the "BenStone" narrative and that is what will cause SVU to fail.

SVU is going down in the ratings. Philip Winchester's Chicago Justice character brings nothing to the table at SVU but his own personal problems. Hate the writers room for going this route. Peter Scanavino's Carisi hasn't been right since Warren Leight left.

Much better show with Warren Leight and Raúl Esparza. Also, storylines are too much about Peter Stone. He is beyond boring as an actor. The show lacks the adrenaline it had and the sense of a loving cast.

My wife is a survivor, she read the season 20 interview where these two laughed off clown rape and table leg rape... people may forget, survivors don't and neither do their families. NBC and Dick Wolf should be ashamed, firing these 2 only would be a START to some justice!

We need Neal Baer back. He ran the show! He gave us so many sneak peaks, behind the scenes, etc. we were more interactive and he was great. Current cast is being fed tired storylines and the writers interaction on Twitter is bad. That tweet wasn’t a joke, writers. The show is amazing, it’s the writers who are messing it up. If you don’t wanna do the job anymore, quit.

The past two seasons have been nothing but phoning it in. The only thing they care about is reaching season 21. Stories don't matter, the cast (other than Peter Stone) doesn't matter and the survivors no longer matter.

Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.

Raul/Barba was dumped on. Philip/Peter is being thrown in our faces! The women ADAs we had too! Stephanie March/Diane Neal NEVER had this much exposure! Fuck these new writers!
