Normally I'm willing to give Law and Order some latitude, and the first 20 or so minutes kept us on the edge of our seat as to whether political forces were at play, but then the writers appeared to draw on contemporary events like a kitchen sink being thrown in and chained to the script.
Anyway, Sabrina Schlegel-Mejia does a decent job as Darina Meleshko, and hopefully Schlegel-Mejia can get more roles. Who knows, maybe she will pop up in a later season as one of the detectives or an assistant district attorney, as it's not uncommon for actors to have played a minor role before stepping up to play a major role, e.g. Harry Morgan in M*A*S*H.
