why not? not every book is good, not even best sellers! Ok, after episode 5 I stopped watching. I saw that coming when around episode 3 I started Fast Forwarding through. I read the rest of the episodes summaries in Wiki and I was not impressed, so I am ok with my decision. I mean, I do have Netflix and I still do not care to continue watching the damn thing. Apparently I am not the target audience for this series, but then who is? I guess 10-20 years old, because it all seems so juvenile (oh look, oppression can create delusional mad scientists/cult leaders) and just made to impress (the usual style over substance). I think the true destroyer of worlds is Netflix's mediocrity in such vast numbers.

I found the first episode a bit frustrating and most of the characters annoying. Thinking about it, the less annoying character was the lady that killed herself at the beginning and that only because of her very limited screen time. They are trying way too hard to shove everything down our throats and make it feel significant and mysterious, like the investigator who talks too much without really saying anything. Basically that was the whole first episode, too much trouble for nothing. Let's see how this will go.

The case was interesting, but the writing is not good. So much stupidity like, among other things already mentioned here, a cop admitting his role in the place he is supposed to do undercover work. He should either meet the DA outside the Gym or talk to his superiors to contact the DA. I expect from L&O to be more realistic than the usual crime/court drama series and not treating us a idiots who only care about the "message of the episode".

I ROFTLed when Olivia went under the car to examine it! That was hilarious. I also get this feeling that they treat this season like if it's Mariska's last one. Or maybe these awful writers try to give us false hopes, dunno... I would have no problem with Olivia stepping aside just staying a captain only doing captain things without going out investigating, having someone else taking the lead (Rollins would be a fine replacement with Bruno on her side and rookie Maria joining them) and finally get back to have some DA and Court scenes. But if they do not have plans like the one I just dreamed about, this show has become ridiculously awful and Mariska cannot support it cause she cannot act well anymore, probably because she has been consumed by the narcissistic monster living inside her. The only realistic thing about this season is Olivia doing therapy. I am not even sure how wise is to have someone for 30 years in SVU without being seriously affected. Are there any Police rules about this? To protect their officers from going nuts?

This post contains SPOILERS. I am not gonna use the spoiler thingy cause this is the last episode of a whodunnit mystery series so it is all about solving the mystery. Plus we got whodunnit in the previous episode. This was stupid. And not because I rooted for Rufus to be Victor Sams, but because it was stupid that nobody recognized Kira. And it was also stupid that Kira decided what to do by screwing her kid in the worst way. She thought Imogene would "move on"? How a kid ever gets over witnessing the brutal murder of her own mother? Kira it is just a psychopath that justifies her issues by blaming the 1%. I think that it should have been 2 episodes shorter and that they overdid it with Imogene's mind palace/whatever this was. Overall, even if the final revelation was a letdown, I did enjoy the series. Especially aesthetically. I loved the vintage touches, the atmosphere and their clothes! Everything was quite entertaining. It was really sad to see the ship go down, I loved that ship!! I would watch a second season, I am not sure though that I would enjoy a whole season just being about a cat and mouse game between Imogene & Co and Kira's gang. Or maybe Kira is dead and the chopped body they found at the very end of the episode belongs to her.

I have to say I was a bit cautious with this one cause Elsbeth's character can be a bit too much, but I really enjoyed the first episode. And I wouldn't mind guest appearances from the Good Wife/Fight universe. I mean, there is a certain lawyer lady that now works in NY, right?

I read on Reddit that they seem to be doing a lot of fan service in their scripts. I guess their fan base is under 15 years old or something? The thing is, I signed in for a different show, the first season I could not wait to see next episode, it was quite a good-feeling and lighthearted series. They have turned it to a bad copy of Castle, with unnecessary soapish drama full with stupid writing and cliches, that they are not even executed well. I think it is morphing into Law and Order SVU with Fillion being the new Mariska and his character having become "Saint Nolan". Which I could still tolerate if the writing was good.

Well.. I have to say I did expect some of their nemesis to invade the wedding venue, kidnap someone or take hostages etc etc and I was really surprised this did not happened. Of course, near the end we had the stupidest of "action" plots: the almost drunk off duty police officers going to Celina's rescue (who she also did the less logical police action to leave a wedding and go to save an informer WITHOUT backup, but I guess some spirit/juju/magic told her to do so..) But my main question, in this life and the next... is WHO ON EARTH FINDS RANDY FUNNY? And why you leave a certified idiot like him alone at your place on your wedding day? Seriously it would be safer to invite Eli**h

"the most dangerous wedding". hmmm... dangerous to our brain cells?

That was so packed, which makes sense considering the previous episode. I like the story so far. So.. could Imogene be a true Collier? Maybe the blonde hair is a clue? Why I have this feeling, since episode 2, that Victor Sams is

Visually stunning, but so so so so so long without a reason. Style over substance, that plague!!

Soon she won't be Saint Olivia anymore... she will be upgraded to Goddess Olivia

I watched the first 5 mins and then I Fast Forwarded near the end where they were giving a press conference with the underage victim present !!!!!!! This show has returned back to really-stupid level. For a few seasons it was in "almost silly" mode. Oh, and someone should tell Mariska that she is not doing any favors to her legacy and soon SVU will be titled as SNU (N for narcissists, in case you dint'd get it). I mean, Mariska, you make a character strong with good writing not just by patting yourself in the back while you admire yourself in front of a mirror.

I had forgotten how stupid this show has become. I miss the good old days with them just patrolling, handling everyday incidents without having to deal with serial killers, annoying shady lawyers mega villains and James Bond kind of evil villains that at the end they all turn out to just be dumb and dumber and a easy pray for our omnipotent ex-Rookie. You know, when the show used to actually be good. So... next week is the wedding. Wondering what will (try to) ruin it.. More evil villains? an earthquake? Some other Bailey's ex husband? A meteorite? Elijah (let's not mention him 3 times, he might actually appear!) And can we get rid of Celina and her idiotic mambo-jambo superstitious DNA? At this point I prefer Bailey. There, I said it!! What this show has done to us?????

I really liked the finale and overall I enjoyed the season. The whole show was Capaldi and Jumbo and I would love another season with those two investigating together. Every scene with those two was fantastic. They have great chemistry and they are both amazing actors They showed Kim calling someone the moment Hegarty left so I guess it was him.

Sometimes when you try to say too much you end up saying too little. I would put the above as the real title of this season. Overall interesting, with good intentions but with a quite messed up execution, kind of drowned in a pool filled with its own ambition. Oh and Navarro must have the strongest head in Alaska. So many blows and not real damage.

Well...I stopped watching because I realized do not really care about the bombers crews (of any WWII participant). Plus, finding most of the acting bad didn't help much either.

The whole Janine and Gregory thing it is so frustrating that its almost a dealbreaker for me..

I think "Dan Dan" beats them all

Is this the most "Olivia Benson" season? of all 25 of them? The last few seasons Stabler was still in it was barely watchable cause all the scripts were basically about the two leads and their acting skills/award hunting. So, I was relieved when Stabler gone, and I do think that for some time there was some balance in the series. Not that we didn't have the "Mariska Show" but well it was still ok. But right now, it is really tough to watch it. I do not have a problem with "Saint Benson" and her taking the right decisions and be the moral lighthouse of the universe, etc etc, but not in such heavy, soapy and melodramatic doses. Apart from all this having become so unrealistic, it has also become unbearable and well... boring. There are no surprises here. I don't know for how much of this mess you can blame Mariska, I guess for quite a lot, since she seems to be just fine with it. What I know is that after 24 seasons I am close to stop watching. And mind you, I managed to keep watching during that horrible Sharon Stone season. Imagine how bad I find this one. I do have some hope that with the new lady captain coming to SVU they gonna tone Olivia part's down.

Well....I caught myself thinking "why they go to the caves in the middle of the night and don't wait till the sunrise?" "oh wait..." 😁 My biggest question for this series is how their houses are that warm where everyone seems to be just fine on plain t-shirts and underwear and sleeping half-covered? Hank wasn't the brightest, was he? First the Russian bride, then go to kill the guy at his police boss' house.. I am surprised the villain-mines-lady gave him any assignment at all. I also found the Anchorage coverup kind of stupid, I mean an avalanche killed them but they removed their cloths after it got them because of hypothermia? Is everyone in Alaska under the villain-mines-company pay roll or the cold has just frozen most of their brain cells?

this was dumb...

It would be the easiest case for Erin Brockovich to win. Which makes the mine company look like idiots since all the evident are so obvious and so against them. But maybe it is not the water, but other things that come from the mines. Could be gases, or micro organisms...or... flies (wink wink).

I am a tad confused on what Hegarty is doing.. By going to Tony's house it was like if he was showing June where the hidden evidence was, he certainly did it on purpose. But why? He can't take it anymore and wants to confess? Or his has another canning plan in his evil mind?

The whole Ukranian refugees thingy confused me... Where they were going? Italy? And from were they entered the ship? Usa? or was it the other way around? They would stay in the ship till it returned to USA? Cause if they left Ukraine they did a big trip already to reach the sea. But if they were in danger in Ukraine (and not only because of the war, as I understood ), that means they should probably want to go to Russia... right? The whole thing didn't make any sense, did anyone get it and explain to me? Plz? I think this was the weakest plot of all so far. It would make more sense to have refugees from Africa wanting to go to Italy...
