193 - She Really Wants to Get Back to the Pretty Boy Perp with the Peen Prob that Elliot’s Probing (S8E19 Florida)

Munch My Benson: A Law & Order: SVU Podcast

In this week's episode "Florida," the Munchie Boys are dragged into the Simon Marsden Saga, leaving them wishing they'd been sent to Florida on a pointless side mission like Dean Porter was in this one. Alas, they're fully immersed in this Liv-servicing backstory, one which errs into some pretty painful narrative territory and squanders a golden opportunity to dive into what should be rich and interesting waters. There's a lot of next-level bad policework being done, and Olivia Benson channels the worst impulses of Elliot Stabler, Amanda Rollins, and Nick Amaro in an SVU in which nearly every action she takes is antithetical to the character we’ve all known for 25 years.
