Vindication

A lot of shows I watch, I only half watch, half listen; they're essentially background noise while I do stuff on my phone or laundry. This show I actually give it my full attention,I want to hear what each character says and see what's happening as it's happening. I had to do something on my phone during an episode, thought I could leave show running, had to rewind because the little I missed, I wanted it.

Binge watched this two nights in a row. Disappointed to run out of episodes! Pretty intense and enjoyable show with solid acting and casting. The last few episodes from Season 1 were my favorites.

Vindication is my new favorite show. I enjoyed season 1 but become glued to season 2 staying up late because I had to find out what was happening next! So many times the show took some jaw dropping turns that I didn't see coming! But all suspense aside, I love all of these characters! They are flawed but enduring: Gary, Becky, Tre, Kris, Janet, Kevin--I love them all! And crime doesn't just happen in New York, DC or Chicago. It can happen in a small town in Texas where you know everyone. I love how the solving of a particular crime turns into a bigger life lesson for Gary Travis. Jarod O'Flaherty is a great writer and director! Season 3 the suspense was off the charts and I can't wait for season 4! :D.

The directing of this tv series is something special. Every shot is detailed with illustration that really draw in the audience. The power of it is reflective of a cinema feature. It's great for binging, especially during quarantine. Todd Terry does a great job in the role struggling with a foundational aspect of the stories. And I identify with that. The writers were graceful and precise while the director created a robust atmosphere in a fresh look for tv shows. I am watching again this time for photography appreciation. I'm clearly weird like that..

That user's review is what got me to actually take the time out to watch the show, I wanted to see if what he said actually held weight. The show isn't bad at all, has a decent plot line and nice messages for the audience. It's obviously not mainstream, but overall it's still solid.

Feel free to give the show a chance, don't let @designfxsa's review turn you away, if you take a look at his profile it seems like he gives every show/movie a bad review.
