Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Traumatic Wound (2013) Season 14, Episode 21

Good episode, strange portrayal of PTSD

[5/10 · 13 June 2022]

I sort of liked this episode. The conspiracy, justice actually being served, Amaro's character development, all good points. However, the way they portrayed PTSD was just... strange. I can absolutely see being triggered by pyrotechnics at a concert. Having a flashback and not being aware of or remembering what you did. But to be able to keep going back to that flashback to remember more details? I don't know about that. I've never heard of it or experienced it, and I have severe PTSD. It just seemed strange to me.

Oz: Gray Matter (2000) Season 4, Episode 5

Great episode except for one big problem

[9/10 · 30 March 2022]

I love this episode overall! I love theme of nature vs nurture, right vs wrong, and all the grey areas in between. The name fits perfectly. My only hang up is Beecher believing that Keller had his son killed. I know Keller is capable of a lot of evil acts, but he had his reasons for those. What reason could he possibly have to kill Beecher's son?? It makes no sense at all. Beecher would have defended him, not believed the lies and certainly would not have tried to kill him. Big story flaw there!

Oz: A Day in the Death... (2003) Season 6, Episode 6

Incredibly moving, engaging episode

[10/10 · 27 March 2022]

This episode was phenomenal! The story, the acting, the cinematography, the music, everything was magnificent. I was getting a bit let down by the last couple seasons, but this episode blew them out of the water!
