Review of Penetration

7/10
Redeemed by the always superb Marcia Gay Harden
18 November 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Harden returns as the "hard-as-nails" FBI agent Dana Lewis in a story that, in true SVU fashion, incorporates the "ripped-from-the-headlines" take on terrorism mixed with the day-to-day dealings with rape.

The story itself is not quite up to par with the majority from this 12th season but it is Harden's testimony on the witness stand during the final quarter of the drama that makes up for the weaknesses of the strength in the first three fourths.

"Penetration" makes Harden's third appearance as Lewis and, as always, she delivers, revealing a side of the agent that heretofore remained hidden: a woman who has had to live with a dark secret that is brought out in the opening moments of the installment.

She is a wonder to behold and this fan looks forward to her next appearance in the role.
