I am long time SVU fan, and generally appreciate the writing and the characters. Mostly I like that not every episode has a neat or happy ending.
In this episode Sharon Stone plays a DA who happens to have been Stabler's training partner. There is a bit of the expected tension between Stone's character and Olivia. And of course, the regular SVU standby of friction between detectives and DA.
It's a decent episode and worth watching for the story.
However, it definitely taught me something new. Just how much of a colossally bad actor Sharon Stone has become. Her flat delivery is exceeded only by her poor timing. Maybe I am selling her short. Perhaps the Botox just numbed her entire face so that she has no emotion whatsoever. Whatever the case, I have seen high school players with wider range and better timing. It is genuinely painful to watch Stone's performance.
