Featured review
Derivative of at Least One Other L&O Episode; A Bit Bland
This one felt, to me, like a rich folks' version of the season 3 episode "Mother Love." That episode also dealt with a wayward, drug-addicted female child whose repeat offenses tested the patience of the those around her - family included. But while the family in that story was working or middle class, these folks are private school-educated and born with spoons in their mouths.
"Used to be South Bronx, Alphabet City. Now these junkies have trust funds," Detective Logan muses about 15 minutes in.
"Hey, 10 years ago they were tooting coke through $100 bills. Maybe they've heard needles are chic this year," Detective Briscoe replies.
The episode is ultimately a bit bland, though there are some decent performances. Dallas Roberts is here in a very early role as the victim's brother; he would later go on to star in the brilliant but short-lived "Rubicon" and co-star in a few seasons of "The Walking Dead." And Gerry Bamman is good as a competent, refreshingly non-slimy defense attorney.
I do have to ding this one for some wooden acting on the part of José Serrano as the judge, however; he's apparently a real-life Congressman from New York, and he sounds like he is reading from a script.
This one isn't bad, just forgettable.
