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.
