Lately, Law & Order: Svu has been far better than its previews.
I wasn't really sure that Law & Order: Svu Season 18 Episode 9 was going to be great television. The preview made it look like it was going to be another story about a wealthy family that gets away with everything because they have money.
Those kinds of stories can be powerful, but lately there's been so many of them that I'm just tired of it. Luckily, Svu decided to go in a different direction with "Decline and Fall".
This story was really about how misogyny and entitlement contribute to sexual assault as well as about consent issues and the fact that in some cases, ignorance is not a defense against rape.
Svu does multilayered, complex stories well and this was no exception. I was thrilled that at the top of the hour, the issue of consent while drunk was addressed.
