8/10
Oh no, not another dodgy Brit!

I am a huge fan of SVU, and I would rate this as one of the best episodes of the series. However, I would suggest that the production QA department (if it exists!) do a statistical analysis of the proportion of dubious characters and outright baddies portrayed by British, South African, New Zealand, Australian and other actors with UK or Commonwealth origins, portraying characters with "British" accents coached by the producers into whatever their acting skills moulded. (Or even American actors whose skill can stretch to what Hollywood reckons is a "cockney" or "British posh accent"). It's OK - they can come from anywhere between the Shetland and Channel Islands, and the whole British Empire. Freddie Mercury (born Zanzibar) and Cliff Richard (born Lucknow) are cultural illustrations. You can get your actors from anywhere (Damien Lewis?) but please don't blame so much of New York's crime on Brits!
