Dun Dun! Chicago P.D. and SVU: A match made in cop show heaven
Cue the dramatic music
Ever since these two iconic Dick Wolf dramas premiered, fans have been treated to epic crossovers where our favorite detectives from the Windy City team up with the elite squad of the NYPD's Special Victims Unit. But just how many times have these two forces joined forces?
The answer, my friends, is a whopping 19! That's right, nineteen glorious episodes where Intelligence and the SVU crew combine brains (and badges) to take down bad guys.
That's a lot of perp walks, interrogation room showdowns, and Olivia Benson's killer fashion sense gracing our screens. Here's the thing, though: keeping track of every single crossover can be a challenge. I mean, with all that drama, who can blame us?

They said it couldn't be done: Detectives from different universes unite!
Okay, maybe not different universes exactly, but these two shows are definitely different flavors of cop drama. SVU tackles the dark and complex world of special victims crimes, while Chicago P.D. dives headfirst into the gritty underbelly of Chicago's street gangs and organized crime. But somehow, these seemingly mismatched partners always manage to find a way to work together. Maybe it's Benson's unwavering determination that rubs off on Halstead and Ruzek. Or maybe it's Voight's, shall we say, "unorthodox" methods that Burgess and Rollins can learn a thing or two from (though Olivia would never admit it).
So, you're saying there's a crossover for every mood?
Pretty much! There are crossovers that focus on catching serial predators, ones that involve gang violence, and even one that tackles a nation-wide manhunt. The point is, there's a crossover out there to satisfy your craving for whatever brand of justice you're into.
So, the next time you're in the mood for a marathon of epic cop drama throwdowns, fire up some popcorn, settle in, and get ready to binge-watch these two shows together. You won't be disappointed!
