Review of Solitary

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Solitary (2009)
Season 11, Episode 3
Ridiculous
9 November 2009
Warning: Spoilers
An intriguing plot but with so many holes it ends up insulting the intelligence. It starts out with a meth addict who hatches a complex alibi for herself, but manages to outfox doctors and police without showing any signs of withdrawal. She just jumps into a river waiting to be found, and yet she is supposed to be a med student. The denouement has Stabler spending THREE days in the hole, at no time needing a shave but immediately hearing noises (this episode differs from others in resorting to noises and whispers indicating others' madness), thinking it's been a week. It could have been such a great episode with PIRA-apologist (and Oscar-nominated) Stephen Rea, but chose a contrived message over its usual quality storytelling.
