Vindication

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..

If you're searching for a compelling police drama that balances crime-solving with deeper themes of morality and family, look no further than Vindication. This series seamlessly blends police situations with moments of faith, offering something for both genres. What sets this show apart is its commitment to portraying real-life issues, such as emotional and spiritual struggles and societal challenges, without resorting to sensationalism. The engaging writing, solid performances, and thoughtful pacing ensure you'll be invested from start to finish. With its unique approach and relatable characters, Vindication is definitely a show worth binge-watching-perfect for those looking for something more meaningful than your average crime series!

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.

Todd Terry stars in this police drama which has just enough police situations and just enough religion to satisfy both genres. This is now being shown on TCT and who knows they may order more episodes if it clicks with that audience.

Old fashioned detective Terry has the usual family problems with wife and teenage daughter. He seems surrounded by females and he's also showing the ropes as a training officer to a new female detective. I did have a chuckle when interviewing a witness he takes out his notepad and she her tablet. I feel for you, I can't get the hang of those things either.

The series is hardly likely to make prime time though.

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!
