Law and order deadlock cast1/23/2024 ![]() Asked about the call, Bryce says that Hudson let a rich friend of his follow him around for three days with a camera, and embarrassed himself and the Moore family. The call warned that Moore would have to someday pay for his actions.īryce Moore, looking disheveled, says that the family is devastated. Green comes in and says that Moore's last phone call was from his brother Bryce. He changes girlfriends quickly and has a plethora of ex's. Moore also has a bevy of enemies thanks to the tabloids quoting the offensive things he says. No one saw Moore leave the party or enter the bus. Van Buren asks for an update, and Cassidy says that there were no prints on the bottle and the window fingerprints are not in the system. ![]() Green and Cassidy muse about how much money Chris makes with Babes Being Bad, with Green saying that the women are selling their dignity for a fleeting moment of fame. There is also a partial fingerprint on a windowsill the killer escaped through the window. Inside the bus, Cassidy shows Green the murder weapon - a wine bottle. He and Green bicker about talking to the security guards, but Green insists and Drake eventually relents and says that the police can question the guards. He says that there wasn't anyone at the party who got violent. 7/10.Green talks to Drake, who has no useful information. In conclusion, very well done surprisingly. The acting all round is very good, even from Jim Gaffigan who is not a favourite usually. It is still compelling and interesting and not hard to follow. While the story is far from extraordinary, it is much more tasteful and less sensationalist than it sounds and a case of the person one hates by the end not being the one one would expect to most hate. As ever, a great job is done with the interesting questions and dilemmas raised when getting a result. The writing is intelligent and while there is a lot of talk, as usual, it doesn't ramble and is accessible. The direction is alert and accommodating. The music isn't used too much and doesn't get too melodramatic. The production values are slick and have a subtle grit, with an intimacy to the photography without being too claustrophobic. However, "Reality Bites" does do a lot of things right. Did think that the ending was pretty silly and the verdict anti-climactic, will agree that the ending is hilarious (especially for the reactions to the truly unrealistic revelation) and not in my view for the right reasons. ![]() ![]() Did find the truth rather obvious too prematurely and the case too straightforward. Other episodes have a lot more tension and emotions, as well as more surprises. "Reality Bites" is a long way from perfect. It is a pretty good episode, just not a great one and a let down after two great previous outings. Like all the 'Law and Order' (this show and the franchise) episodes with a case centered around reality shows, "Reality Bites" though does nothing to convert me with a kind of story that may intensify the dislike if anybody else thinks negatively about reality television. The good news is that "Reality Bites" does execute its plotline more tastefully and compellingly than expected and not near as exploitative. It also sounded on the trashy side, which didn't surprise me considering how exploitative and sensationalist reality television is (two of my biggest issues with it). A large part of it being my rather intense dislike of reality shows, and while 'Law and Order' have generally portrayed reality television in a much more tasteful way than expected it has done nothing to change my negative perception of it. ![]() Of all the premises of Season 20, that for "Reality Bites" was easily one of the least appealing. ![]()
