New Aspect Upward Constabulary & Lodge Svu “Official Story” Recap & Review
January 28, 2019
Edit
First together with foremost, I did similar the episode together with at that spot were many elements that I enjoyed. The writing squad has been doing a dandy undertaking this flavor of coming upwardly amongst really interesting cases, together with they are telling the stories really well. The cast is all performing good (Munch is MIA again, though) together with things seem to hold upwardly clicking. I think my hang-ups amongst this episode, together with why I am struggling, revolve around 2 issues:
1. The investigation of Rand’s company’s involvement inward the embrace upwardly of a years old rape inward Republic of Iraq had no work organization beingness handled past times SVU. Forget Amaro’s declaration (or excuse) that it could speak to O’Keefe’s motive - I don’t think that was a valid argue for SVU to hold upwardly involved whatsoever further. O'Keefe already gave them the motive together with it should hold upwardly up to his defence strength to determine whether that motive mitigates the offense he committed. As the illustration progressed, it became fifty-fifty to a greater extent than clear that SVU was inward way over their heads. Later on, after Benson’s even out is ransacked, a witness killed, a immature adult woman attacked together with her manful mortal raise stabbed, THEN Cragen makes the observation that they are dealing amongst a individual army. Well, no kidding – that should receive got been glaringly obvious the infinitesimal that the fellowship call “Battle Tested Security” was mentioned together with its CEO attacked. SVU sticking their noses inward a illustration that was far beyond their abilities contributed to a witness beingness killed together with the immature adult woman together with her manful mortal raise beingness attacked. If SVU would receive got used their brains, the witness would receive got never been left inward his hotel room without a guard outside. (Update: Amaro did comment that the uni (uniformed officer) said no 1 came to the room after he left, thence perhaps someone was watching the room. If so, how did the liquor acquire in... maybe the officeholder wasn't stationed correct at the door?) SVU’s sloppy treatment of the illustration led to far also much collateral damage. This illustration may receive got check much ameliorate every bit a Law & Order or ameliorate yet a Criminal Intent episode, or, if either of those serial withal existed. this story could receive got made a for a overnice SVU crossover/double episode.

2. I adore Harry Connick Jr.'s music together with I ain many of his recordings gong years back. But it pains me to say that his acting was awful. His delivery was even out together with lifeless inward every unmarried scene. Yes, I am thrilled that Benson may receive got someone who – at to the lowest degree at this bespeak inward fourth dimension – makes her happy, together with Harry is for certain tardily on the eyes. But his acting was no ameliorate than someone reading lines. I literally cringed amongst every 1 of his scenes.
I’m also non a large fan of focusing on the characters’ personal lives. While I don’t heed this episode’s focus on Mariska/Benson – after her years amongst SVU she deserves it - I am already a lilliputian tired of the focus on Amaro’s family.
