To be continued??

Is there anything more annoying than a "To Be Continued" that isn't the next episode?! I'm sure it was continued over on Elliott's spin-off but it could've at least said that on the TBC screen.

I'm 20 minutes into episode 14?and it's like nothing happened from 13. WTH?!

I am truthfully DONE watching the Olivia Benson show ... FOREVER .... Please NBC do us all a favor and cancel this
Ed-Shullivan14 May 2021
Oh God, why do I put myself through such pain watching Season 22 of the Olivia Benson vanity show? I have never seen a previous multi Emmy award winning TV Drama series fall to such a pitiful low quality and predictable canned crime series. When this series first aired back in 1999, the series format was split equally between a crime being investigated and a suspect charged, and the second half of each episode was focused on the subsequent court case where sometimes the suspect charged was found not guilty, much to the shock of the audience. Nowadays, the entire show is focused solely on Olivia Benson and if I have seen that face of hers once, I have seen it a million times, with her jaw dropped, and her eyes staring blindly into space. The series has all but abandoned the original format of a 50/50 split between investigating and charging a suspect, with the latter half of each episode focused on the eventual court case.

In this Season 22, Episode 13, the 502nd episode of the long and (now extremely boring) running crime/drama series Captain Olivia Benson (Mariska Hartigay) brings in her old detective partner Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) for the interrogation of a suspect. I don't know how and why Elliot Stabler is introduced other than to self promote his new spinoff series Law & Order Organized Crime. Oh! Did I forget to mention that this Season 22 segues right into Elliot Stabler's own series with the unfortunate death of his wife?

Getting back to this particular episode in which the episode copies the feature film (2019) Hustlers which evolves around some strippers seducing then drugging their victim(s) it is a total waste of time. And of course Mariska Hartigay just can't help herself by inserting in this particular storyline that her own on screen brother was seduced and subsequently murdered by these bad girls. This leads to that oh so familiar face of discern on Olivia as she (once again as always) takes the case on herself. Uggggghhhh gag me with a spoon.

I give this episode a 3 out of 10 IMDB rating and I am absolutely done watching anymore of the Olivia Benson show. Please NBC. Please...please...please cancel this lousy show. It's Emmy days are long since gone.

Lazy writing and directing
filmmakersis14 May 2021
This episode gave me just what I feared was happening with the show: a lot of corniness that isn't supposed to be corny, bad acting but of course this is mostly due to lazy and careless directing. The written script might read better than the show was directed as but it still wasn't great. This episode feels like what a 2nd year tv writing college student would write as an example. A huge let down. If you just watch the first few minutes you'll find your own eyes rolling.

Warning: Spoilers
Another by the book, predictable and boring episode. I guess it was a little different since it ripped off the movie Hustlers, but still, nothing we haven't seen before.
