If you see this Law And Order story for no other reason check it out for the incredible performance of Brian Gant as the schizophrenic skater known as the Bipolar Roller.
It's the murder of three homeless men on Randall's Island and a most expensive pair of skates make Jeremy Sisto and Anthony Anderson think that the Roller might be one of the victims. He was in fact one unusual homeless person in that he had a business as well. But he shows up alive and entertaining over at Columbus Circle.
This story gives us a couple of theories of the crime and has a lot of twists to it. As it turns out Gant is discovered quite by accident to be a serial killer and he's arrested for the deaths. Later on that changes.
Bear in mind all of this is being played out while Sam Waterston is running for election to District Attorney in his own right. As he used to say to his various bosses, you do the politics, I do the law. Now he's doing the politics and discovers there are minefields aplenty out there.
You have to see the bit of manipulation that Linus Roache uses on Gant to get to the truth in court.
But most of all see the outrageous and flamboyant performance that Gant gives.
