I think the whole "Law and Order" franchise is consistently a model of story-telling. So this is again a well-written episode. This said, I don't know that I would rate it overall one of the best (that's a high bar). But I certainly agree that Lou Taylor Pucci holds his own with d'Onofrio, and for similar reasons - a kind of controlled edginess that bespeaks a far more complex character beneath the surface. The scene where Goren is sitting on a small table with one leg folded under him is exquisite.
I'm surprised Pucci hasn't done more in recent years. But he's got time.
I also loved the thug who's always worried about his wife (couldn't track the name); really compelling in his anxious stupidity.
Some fine acting overall; but the series has had better stories.
