Vindication

Not a bad little mini series but where can I watch the rest of the season? My opinion, it was a little short, had a few camera bumps but all in all not bad.

Kept seeing this show and passing it by for something else. The show is a little on the short end but somehow they developed all the characters over the course of the first season even for a show that tops out at around 30 min an episode. Very detailed, not a CSI, classic crime drama type show but goes into its own category telling a crime from start to finish where you as the viewer get details to solve the case. I'd recommend for somebody looking for something a little different in terms of a story being told of how a mystery gets solved.

I am pleasantly surprised by this series in every way possible. Good writing, quality acting, solid camera work, great storyline, and an added bonus, they hired an experienced sound engineer (it's a running joke at our house how Christian productions all seem to hire the same incompetent sound engineer). Sincerely hoping for and looking forward to additional seasons.

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.

Vindication is a unique crime drama, that centers around Detective Travis as he interviews the suspects and witnesses, exploring how it might have happened, and it is up to Detective Travis to discern the truth. The first season introduces the characters and the format of the show, and as the season progresses we get a deeper glimpse into Travis's personal and home life.

The episodes cover a variety of topics, with a different slant than your typical crime shows. I like how it keeps you guessing, because you only have access to the information that Travis does, so the answers aren't clear cut and sometimes he is wrong and has to backtrack.

Each of the episodes is half and hour, and does a great job with though provoking plots, with compelling teachable moments. The show is well done, directed more towards adults and older teens, with a variety of crimes presented realistically without all the explicit details, but in a ways that can be a great conversation starter about tough topics like sexting, emotional affairs, money, marriage, drug addiction, and PTSD. One of my favorite characters is Travis's wife, who is a firm Christian who lives what she believes.

A unique crime drama with family values and teachable moments, definitely worth checking out!
