Over a year has passed since we last saw Travis with family and co-workers and there has been a few major changes. It's easy to catch up, though. The story lines, characters--- both old and new---, quality, etc. are more intense than ever and leave this viewer eagerly anticipating the next episode. These cliffhangers! 🤯
I will be specifically reviewing Episode 4, but first watch the Season 2 trailer at Vindication S2 trailer.
EPISODE 4 OVERVIEW: "Perspectives" - A veteran (Garry Nation with known racial prejudices reports a stolen tractor and lands Travis (Todd Terry) in a difficult spot. Doris (Laurie Coker) makes a request of Becky (Peggy Schott).
REVIEW: Tensions continue to mount due to changes in the 2 precincts in personnel and personal relationships. The friendship between Kris (Venus Monique) and Kevin (Matt Holmes) gets more complex, family issues in the Travis family are unresolved, and there is growing conflict at work. A focus on racial prejudice comes to the forefront when new detective Tre Millwood (TC Stallings) and Travis visit a Vietnam vet who has reported a stolen tractor. Different perspectives on racial prejudice are explored, along with the desperation faced by aging veterans. Garry Nation gave a performance that turned what could have been a stereotypical character into a man whose experiences in life have left him struggling to fit into a world that has changed, leaving him a bit fragile and confused.
The story, written and directed by Jarod McFlaherty, raises more speculation than it gives answers...and is one of the reasons I love this series so much! It makes me think and it leaves me wanting more. The actors, both regular and guest actors, are outstanding. (Shout out to Roni Hummel Casting!) Vindication is a well-rounded series that appeals to viewers on several levels, and Episode 4 has several threads I want to follow. The finished tapestry is going to be fantastic. I recommend this episode, but you'll want the entire series!
