244 - The Only Way He Could Get Hard Was If The Bleacher Creatures Were Calling Out His Name (S16E2 American Disgrace)

This week we watched an aptly titled episode which follows a series of rape allegations against a recently retired basketball star.

In addition to classic Warren Leight Era racism, this is an episode in which Olivia Benson, improbably, thinks it's cool if people are falsely accused of rape in a shameless bid to end a black man's endorsement deal. We are also treated to some terrible accent work and to newly minted Detective Carisi's delightful mustache and Staten Islander pizza choices.
