Great episode!

This episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last minute. I don't want to give away any details that would make this comment a spoiler, but I will say that I really enjoyed this episode. It was well-written and obviously the acting was terrific - as always. The only bad thing about this episode was that Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay, one of my favorite actresses) was barely present. Since it focused more on the court scenes than the actual police work, I guess she and Elliot had a break this week!

I started watching Special Victims Unit several years ago and have been hooked ever since. My husband and I used to watch it together, but we don't have time to do that now. Still, we've seen most episodes, but I wanted to watch them all again so recently I started at the beginning and thanks to Netflix, I started with season one and I'm now on season 7. Too bad I didn't think to start writing reviews when I was on season one!
