Well, this was certainly a rarity for television nowadays, streaming or broadcast: to actually have bad guys that happen to be gay. I am sure they got some angry letters about it, but what can you do.
It was kind of interesting to see that world explored, and for Stabler to have to put on an act like that, down to the phony Instagram page, but overall the show is not quite capturing the aura it once had. I want them to go back to chasing more dangerous bad guys and having arcs that last 7 or so episodes. These one or two offs are not going to secure the ratings needed to be an easy renewal every year.
