Will Trent - You Don't Have to Understand

While investigating a double-homicide and looking for a missing pregnant woman who was the intended victim, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) continues to struggle with the emotions of Cricket’s (Susan Kelechi Watson) death. His investigation becomes momentarily focused on a preacher (Jerod Haynes) who he correctly guesses has something to hide, although it turns out not to have anything to deal with the current crime. Meanwhile, Angie (Erika Christensen) returns to work and dives into her own case of murder with Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) involving the death of a selfish fitness nut was poisoned in a spa.

Will Trent - It's the Work I Signed Up For

Spinning out of events from the season premiere, and touching on storylines began last season, both Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and Faith (Iantha Richardson) visit the prison to find the shot-caller responsible for the bombing that took the life of Cricket (Susan Kelechi Watson). The investigation is stymied by the corruption within the prison and a prison break attempt which fails, but still leaves our detectives without answers. This leads to multiple father/son scenes between Will and James Ulster (Greg Germann) including the serial killer taking enough to “save” Will (but really just help out his own position within the prison hierarchy).

Will Trent - Me Llamo Will Trent

I missed this show. Will Trent returns for its Second Season with Will (Ramón Rodríguez) largely ignoring the events of last season (other than learn Spanish to honor his mother), Angie (Erika Christensen) pushing herself to get back to work too soon, Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) and Faith (Iantha Richardson) both struggling with relationships, and new crimes to be solved. The crime of the week involves a bomber targeting families of prisoners who refused or were unwilling to pay extortion to keep their loved ones safe. The bomb-heavy plot allows for the introduction of Susan Kelechi Watson as a bomb-tech and potential love interest for Will, but the show’s writers have other plans.

Will Trent concludes its first season with Will (Ramón Rodríguez) shrugging of the shock of Angie’s (Erika Christensen) abduction and the secrets Wagner (Sonja Sohn) has been keeping from him for years to lead the search to find the serial killer responsible for his mother’s death and Angie’s kidnapping. Leaving plenty left over for the show to dive into in the show’s Second Season, including the fallout from the last two episodes of this one, the season ends with answers and justice for our title character as the writers save their best work for last. I’m happy to have found this show and so glad to learn it has been renewed for another season. I look forward to see where things go from here.
