A good episode of SVU. It always is. This week's episode has the unplaceable feel of earlier seasons. Naive youth, sly scum-bags, police-DA tensions, and controversial new tech combine to create formidable and thought-provoking entertainment.
Stabler and Benson run security at a student rally educating woman to prevent rape when the gathering is upended, ironically, by one student's raucous allegations of rape. The detectives detain the suspect and launch an investigation that exposes both the university's gross negligence, and the slipperiness of the suspect. Dodgy police work and judicial misgivings derail the state's case. When the picture clears to show conviction seems beyond reach, the investigation is forced to take on another insidious angle in hopes of justice. The chase was fun, the story unsettling, and the methods both disturbing and enchanting. Once again, Stabler and Benson deliver.
