An SVU episode that's actually fun
28 December 2020
There aren't many SVU episodes that can accurately be described as "fun" -- in fact, this may be the first one I've seen (though the next episode, "P.C.," which I'm only about halfway through as I write this, shows a lot of potential with everyone's exasperated reactions to Kathy Griffin's super-intense lesbian-activist character whom even the most sincere and earnest of left-wingers (like me) could only describe as being from Looneytown) -- but that's what we've got here.

With Olivia Benson doing a brief but excellent dominatrix impression in some gorgeous Gucci boots (no, really), and a wonderfully over-the-top staged crime (you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it), this one's got a whole lot of fun mixed in with the serious crime (a double-murder) and the possibility of direct threats to the safety of some of the detectives and their families. See it.
