What to Watch on Thursday: Law & Order: SVU and Organized Crime are back on the case Season Premiere

 

SVU fans will be treated to two hours of Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) & Co. as their investigation expands into a sex-for-housing (!) scheme. Ben Rappaport and Terry Serpico guest star. And at 10 p.m., Stabler (Christopher Meloni) looks to infiltrate a nasty crime family that’s hoping to take over the Big Apple’s cocaine trade. —Lynette Rice
Season Premiere

 


Are you ready for more Doom Patrol? The misfit superhero series is bringing in some new faces for season 3, including Michelle Gomez (Doctor Who) as Madame Rouge, who arrives in a time machine to warn the team about a major threat.

Unfortunately, she can’t remember exactly what it is. “It’s frankly a funny path of self-discovery because when she comes to be with the Doom Patrol, she’s completely forgotten who she is and what her powers are,” showrunner Jeremy Carver tells EW.

“So watching her rediscover what she can do is hopefully a lot of fun and a little silly.” The season also sees the debut of the Brotherhood of Evil — the antagonists from the classic Doom Patrol comics by creator Arnold Drake and Bob Haney — including the talking French gorilla Monsieur Mallah and the disembodied brain known as the Brain. That’s Doom Patrol for you. —Tyler Aquilina & Christian Holub
