Review of Punk

Law & Order: Punk (1998)
Season 9, Episode 8
6/10
I feel like sentencing Abby Carmichael to 8 1/3 to 25 after this episode
30 November 2020
I've never warmed to Abby Carmichael as assistant DA, but she's utterly unbearable here. Her smug self-certainty and complete lack of empathy come to a head in this story of a woman, previously convicted by Carmichael of drug offenses, who has been a victim of repeated rape by prison guards. There's a revelation at the end of the episode that is supposed to put a new spin on Carmichael's attitude, but it's too brief and superficial. The overall feeling is one of frustration and anger, despite the terrific performance by Cara Buono.
