Episode 257: Unlike the Deconstructed Coleslaw, This Episode Did Not Bring the Sauce (S20E8 Hell’s Kitchen)

Fine dining is hell, apparently. If you don't believe The Bear, I guess you could turn to this SVU for further evidence, but that might be giving it more credit than it's due.

Here, we watch as Not Gordon Ramsey throws temper tantrums in his terribly named fine dining effort, pushing likely questionably sourced prawns, screaming at his expos, and sexually assaulting his wait staff. This guy is a real a-hole, but he keeps shaking the charges, which leads the Unit to working with--or is it against--the Brooklyn ADA who really dug Stone's pickoff move. One look at which season this one comes from should tell you everything you need to know. Characters do things they'd never have done under a different guiding hand, details aren't well thought out, and nothing makes sense. Come along for the ride as we have a field day with this Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

Episode 22: Matricide by Proxy (S5E23 Bound)

Adam's Paternity Leave continues, so we'll re-release a stunt-casty ep with some pretty left turns.

Law And Order: SVU frequently takes the viewer to uncomfortable places, and Josh and Adam are no strangers to the depths of the criminal imagination. Still, they were not fully prepared for this vertiginous descent into the tawdry wrinkled world of swinging elder sex. If you want an in-depth discussion of the ethics of mercy killing, the NYPD’s somewhat lax emergency first aid standards, and whether or not one should speak to the police while wearing nothing but a fully open robe and a smirk, then you've come to the right podcast. Benson, Stabler and the rest of the squad are joined by stars Jane Krakowski and Anthony Rapp for "Bound" (Season 5, Episode 23). This will definitely leave you "satisfied." Enjoy!
