“No one wants to be a victim”: The ‘Law & Order’ Star Who Openly Called Dick Wolf’s Creation ‘Propaganda’ After John Oliver’s Remarks

After John Oliver’s critical comments about the Law & Order franchise, one Svu star openly admitted the ‘copaganda’ in the show. Dick Wolf’s franchise paints the police force as these highly competent cops who would do anything in their capacity to seek justice for their victims. While actress Diane Neal shared that Svu is a spectacular show, she acknowledged that crime victims are often treated horribly.
