This may be a two in one post, as so much time has elapsed, and so many disappointments have been experienced, with this show. The short hiatus gives me a chance to catch up.
"Must Be Held Accountable" was unsatisfying, because no one really was held accountable. The only good thing was it ended as it began, with Steve Getz (snarky and sleazily played by Vincent Kartheiser) does commit suicide. We get to see it twice, and never has such a tragedy made me so happy. The guy is clearly a stand in for Jeffrey Epstein, who, happily did the same thing. And watch out now, darlings, for Prince Andrew!
Meanwhile, Frank Bruno, who held Rollins and her therapist at gunpoint, kidnapped Rollins, and hit the road, gets just a slap on the wrist? Why? Because he is ex-NYPD? Are crooked cops now exempt from punishment? And how about Rollins, and her misjudgment in leaving her gun in her car's glove compartment. Does this not even rate a reprimand?
And how about the Bucci women--Donna, Ivy, and Milly? The mother is a pimp, Ivy is a slut, and knows what her sister is in for, and is OK with it? The entire family should have been thrown together in one cell, while we watched them tear each other to pieces.
As for Carisi, is the show never to let him be free of his cop status? While he is still an ADA, when things heat up, he is always called in for his cop skills? Why? Because they need a man? What about Finn? Never were the likes of Stephanie March, Diane Neal, and others, used this way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, why Carisi???????????????????
No, this episode came a cropper. Its greatest mistake was its title.
It should have been called "No One Held Accountable!"
Guess this will be just one post!
