The end of an era?

So this show for most of the series has been 22-24 episodes per season. This one was 8. Reading the writing on the wall, I'd say this show is close to its end. It's disappointing because it still seems to pack a punch with its relevant story lines. I hope I'm wrong, but I've seen this play too many times.

Second Chance

"Sometimes justice is about compassion, not punishment"

This word of his concubine puts the last point on the subject.

Because, everyone deserves a second chance.

Carisi's performance was so good.

Great episode

This was a hard hitting SVU, where folks were both right and wrong. Depending on where you sit, it ended well or outrageously, which makes the best episodes. Well written and delivered.

Close to being cancelled

Yet another truly appalling episode for a program with six good seasons but one which has gone steadily downhill ever since . If the " writers " were aiming for virtue signalling, they missed . I say ' writers ' but this drivel could have been cobbled together on the back of a cigarette packet, it really is nauseating how St Olivia and her gang can suddenly jump to a completely baseless conclusion without any evidence simply because a killer flutters their eyelashes. It's also a terrible advert for the NYPD and the American justice system as a whole . If this is how it goes then God help us all . It seems reasonable to suppose this series cannot go on much longer if this is the standard so see it while you can , but view it as a comedy or a spoof.

Special BLM Victims

This show has started to turn on trafficking victims, they rather show black rapists as the true victims.

A very bad entry, the worst episode on the entire series.

Rebranding?

This was a fantastic episode of SVU if they are looking to Rebrand. I enjoyed the Aaron Spelling quality to this episode. It had a very feel-good atmosphere. The music was different, more inspiring and the main character arcs were a lot less dynamic, which is good in the post-2020 world we live in. This was a nice light one. That 180° turn at end was astonishingly heart-warming.

(The only reason I'm giving it a 3 is because it is off-brand to the original SVU. The normal SVU is Neo Noir. So because of the genre switch I have to follow the Scribbs 25 Manifesto and mark you down 7 points).
