i find it so genuinely amazing that svu had the nearly impossible job of trying to replace the iconic fin and munch dynamic (easily the best fin dynamic on the show) after munch left
and instead of trying to create a similar character for fin to play off of, they partnered him with an impulsive southern belle with anger issues, a penchant for gambling, and zero common sense…
…and it worked perfectly, creating the second best fin dynamic on the show.
