Write a Recap »In my opinion,this episode is one of the best. hide show
I have this episode on DVR so when I want to be pissed off, I watch again. I think that this story is all too accurate on the trust most people have in each other these days. We don't expect a soft-spoken, clean cut, all American man to be an evil monster but many are.
On the security video tape, it is shocking to see this man lead a young girl to the back of the store to murder her. How cold can a killer be? This has to be one of the most heinous of all crimes. I will never understand how anyone could kill a child but it happens every day. Killers don't look like killers. They look like you and me.
And I don't mean just on TV.
A very good episode, one of the best of the season so far. hide show
Law and Order has had some criticism by people since Season 10 or 11 up to as far as Season 15 (don't know what the thoughts are from fans for it's last half), for it's writing especially with the detectives' half of the episodes and the casting. When Angie Harmon was still in the cast up to this season I thought overall the cast was still strong. Season 10 was very good and so far this season has gone along nicely. "Hubris" along with "Amends" is one of the best episodes of this season so far.
Was the ending a cop-out following the dramatic intensity and twists? I'm not sure. It was a good ending but I had a doubt in my mind after watching the episode that it didn't end like it should have.
The court case was different to the normal cases seen in court which brought some freshness to the show.
Everyone in the main cast had plenty to do. Thoroughly enjoying the scenes with Lennie and Eddie. As good as when Ray Curtis and Mike Logan were partnered with Lennie Briscoe.
