February 14, 2019
Edit
Law & Order SVU “Reparations” may disappoint some fans but may delight others. Diane Neal reprises her role equally ADA Casey Novak, together with she was improve than ever. The downside: Mariska Hargitay wasn’t inwards the episode at all, at that spot was no Richard Belzer (again), Dann Florek, Tamara Tunie, or BD Wong, together with it was lite on Chris Meloni together with Ice-T. The story seemed written amongst the sole role of featuring Diane, together with also giving some hide fourth dimension to Law & Order LA’s Terrence Howard, peradventure to remind viewers that exhibit is retuning presently (April xi amongst a double header). Without heavy interest from the commons cast, the episode felt somewhat lifeless, although Diane did shine. I withal can't quite warm upward to Terrence Howard, together with the fact that he was playing an "arrogant prick" (as Stabler called him) didn't assist much. The story reminded me of a previous Law & Order episode where a daughter claimed she killed a dark human being during an attack, rather than acknowledge she had a human relationship amongst him because she had a racist manly soul rear (the master copy episode was called “Good Girl” together with the Law & Order Great Britain remake was called “Masquerade”). Even though this SVU episode wasn’t identical to those previous episodes, it felt likewise much similar the others together with equally a result, the drama together with suspense was absent. Usually equally I scout an episode I write downward my full general impressions for my review, together with I was surprised that when I finished watching, I’d written naught down. That’s never a adept sign. The episode wasn’t bad, but it didn’t thrill me either.
Here is the recap:
