A fan even named Rafael Barba (Raúl Esparza), who served as the ADA of SVU from season 14 to season 19, and his friendship with Detective Rollins.
“Barba and Rollins,” a fan said. “It had the banter and the bond. And in season 14 and 15 a weird tension. Or maybe not. But after reading few smutty fics it was even my crack ship 😁. For a brief moment. But mostly it was a good friendship. They had an unspoken understanding in few episodes and I wish they interacted more.”
One fan added Sergeant Munch and Detective Nick Amaro’s (Danny Pino) friendship. They worked in SVU at the same time during seasons 13 to season 15 when Munch retires.
“I really loved Munch and Amaro’s friendship,” the fan admitted.
1 fan said ‘Fin and Rollins for suuuure’
A fan also added in Fin and Rollins friendship. They were partners from season 13 all the way to when Fin becomes the sergeant of the squad in 2018. They got along well together, and seemed to really care about one another. The same fan also spoke about Dr. Melinda Warner (Tamara Tunie) and Olivia Benson’s (Mariska Hargitay) obvious friendship.
“Fin and Rollins for suuuure,” the fan pointed out. “Also a big fan of Melinda and Olivia’s friendship- I know Melinda’s not in it as much anymore but I’d love to see some sort of reference that they’re still friends/ meet up instead of the angsty/ now strictly professional vibe they’ve got going on.”
it’s clear there are a lot of different “underrated” friendships in the hit series Law & Order: SVU.
