New Seem Upward Police & Social Club Svu “No Skillful Reason” Recap & Review

Law & Order SVU “No Good Reason” was a preachy episode, devoid of drama,  clearly geared to speak to the teen together with pre-teen audience. (I suspect the older the viewer, the less interested they were inwards this episode.) While anyone tin live on cyberbullied or sexually assaulted, this storey focused on a grouping of high schoolhouse students who are probable illustration of what’s going on inwards many high schools across the country. The victim was Mandy, a self-absorbed teen, together with involved her as superficial circle of friends.

I was rapidly bored when a long opening scene showed how Mandy was using social media together with her vlog to highlight her shallow life. But suddenly, her video turned to the night side when something happened to stone her world, together with non inwards a skillful way. Her parents larn worried when Mandy goes missing, together with the SVU gets involved. They break that mortal has posted a photograph of her from a political party piece she was unconscious, together with mortal had also written on her partially clothed trunk amongst a Sharpie. Eventually, the detectives rails her downward together with take away heed that Mandy had also been raped at that same party.

An unexciting investigation ensues, amongst 1 of the boys from the political party - Andrew - eventually admitting to forcing himself on Mandy. Apparently he wanted her to similar him together with thus badly simply she didn’t receive got those same feelings, together with thus he wrongfully took matters into his ain hands. Barba cuts a bargain for rape 3, xviii months, 4 years probation, together with Andrew must larn on the registry. Benson adds that Andrew has to allocute inwards opened upwardly courtroom together with thus the whole schoolhouse doesn’t intend Mandy is a liar. He does so. Benson together with Barba larn their win.

The episode wraps amongst Benson - afterwards that same twenty-four hours as the allocution - at the high schoolhouse auditorium, on phase amongst Mandy, speaking to the students virtually bulling together with sexual assault. She asks the students to stand upwardly up if they receive got been bullied, hazed, wound yesteryear gossip, sexually assaulted, or a victim pf violence. Quite a few students are standing, together with Benson reminds them they are all inwards this together, together with they receive got the ability to alter this yesteryear beingness to a greater extent than accepting together with compassionate. Short testimonials from to a greater extent than or less of Mandy’s circle of friends inwards the crowd follow, together with I break tedium setting in. Maybe it’s because it’s been decades since I’ve been inwards high schoolhouse together with the problems are to a greater extent than oft than non the same, simply I was completely disinterested inwards this concluding scene. Yes, having these kinds of talks amongst students tin larn to a greater extent than or less of them thinking virtually these issues, simply it volition convey to a greater extent than than 1 spoken language yesteryear Benson to alter the culture. (NBC has provided a video of this scene which is embedded below, pick out grip of it piece it is available.)

We also encounter Benson on the courthouse steps beingness served amongst a notice of motion from Sheila Porter’s attorney. Porter is holler for the courtroom for Benson’s fiscal disclosure together with a psychological evaluation;  Porter is trying to challenge Benson’s fitness as a parent. Of course, this storey occupation volition continue, together with nosotros tin exclusively wonder how long this arc volition live on drawn out this season. Hopefully it tin roll upwardly rapidly together with thus other characters on the demo tin receive got to a greater extent than or less drama of their own.
