Law & Order: Organized Crime       (season 5 premiere)          (3:01

The series moves to Peacock for its 5th season. Ten episodes; the first
two stream today (and the first of those will also air on NBC tonight at
10 pm ET), followed by single-episode weekly releases through June 12.

I watched the first two episodes of this. They basically formed a mini-movie
with Stabler going undercover as a trucker to help the FBI bust a cross-border
drugs-and-guns smuggling operation. While there, he ends up meeting and
befriending the kid of one of the lot lizards (hookers) and uncovering a coven
of serial killers among the truckers who are traveling up and down the
interstate abducting women and trading them to each other based on each guy's
particulars 'taste'. Tragedy leaves Stabler leaning on Benson for emotional
support, who shows up to visit him in the hospital and then stays on to work
the serial murder case.
