The negotiator
"Her Negotiation" is notable for not just being the season 14 finale, but also the beginning of the William Lewis story arc. A story that started off extremely well, brilliantly in fact, but felt like one episode too many by the end. Not because of the character himself, he is iconic, but more to do with the writing. Season 14 was variable, with winners such as "Lessons Learned" and "Monster's Legacy" but also msifires such as "Presumed Guilty" and "Funny Valentine".
This was a brilliant season finale (one of the best of 'Special Victims Unit' in my view and one of the few great latter seasons ones), a more than promising start to the story arc and easily one of the best episodes of Season 14. My opinion of "Her Negotiation" was extremely high on first watch, it's even higher now with even more to appreciate. Which was pretty much the same with "Lessons Learned" and "Monster's Legacy" as well.
Everything works here. What immediately stands out is the performance Pablo Schreiber, he is absolutely fantastic and truly chilling as one of who is still to this day one of the memorable, creepiest and most ruthless characters svu has ever had. Mariska Hargitay here gives her best performance of the season, showing her steel and vulnerability and not the fatigue or aggression she showed in some Season 14 episodes, the difference in acting between "Brief Interlude" and this is staggering. The chemistry between her and Schreiber scintillates.
Raul Esparza is a breath of fresh air and it is great there is a lot of him here. Love his dress style and his snappy one liners that Esparza delivers with zest. All the cast are excellent, but those three are particularly standout-worthy. "Her Negotiation" has a very suspenseful story that is never obvious or thin or too over-stuffed or convoluted. That Lewis makes such a huge impact as a character helps. The dramatic highlight is perhaps the chilling interrogation scene.
Writing is closer to the taut intelligent writing of the early seasons than the dull and dumbed down kind the mid-late seasons had too often. It was great to have everyone play strong roles and important to the case.
It is slickly photographed throughout, a perfect match for the gritty tone, and the location work looks both striking and atmosphere-filled. The music is only used when necessary and when it is used it does stick in the mind and not done so ham-handedly. Both the main theme and opening voice over are memorable.
Overall, fantastic way to end an inconsistent season. 10/10.
