Who let this turkey in...

3.0

"Bad"

By XMLarry, Mar 14, 2011

I can't believe that an episode of this series could be this boring. To her credit, Carol Burnett gives a very good perforance in this turkey of a story. After a good beginning the story drags, and drags and drags. Way too much info on the personal lives of her character and her "nephew". Eliot and Olivia act like they're just going through the motions, like this is just another day at the office, just another case. Maybe the two actors knew this episode was a stinker and they just went along for the ride. Even the small twist at the end could not save this one. But I guess even a series as good as this one normally is must have its occasional valley to go along with its many peaks. I expected better from the SVU writers; hopefully they will do better with the next one.moreless

Is there another town on the other side, or is it all just a lot of nothing? Dr. George Huang: Those kinds of questions aren't exactly my specialty.
