This is one of many reasons why I can´t warm up to Carisi. He has very different opinions than me. He was way too apologetic of that rapist, of the Church, he liked a serial killer in season opener, he didn´t understand transgender people, he didn´t believe that a man can be raped by a woman, he was surprised that rape victims need an advocate and so on. I know writers did use him to explain things to the audience but it´s not getting any better lately.
That hiatus is way too long. 5 weeks without Barba. Let´s hope that rest of the season will be better than last three episodes. Less of siding with rapists and pedophiles would be great too.
I also hope that Olivia and Barba somehow explain things to each other. I need their friendship.
