Cracking this case goes to place Jackie by way of the wringer.
Our hard-partying lead was in over her head on Hightown Season 1 Episode 2 as she began to know that there was extra to Sherry’s demise than the cops know.
The great thing about following Jackie as she tries to show there’s extra to the case is that we all know she’s proper, and it highlights how people who find themselves hooked on medication and alcohol on the subject of talking about proof.
Jackie seems like she’s reaching when she speaks concerning the case, virtually like she’s excessive on medication, and that is what’s going to proceed to plague her except she begins providing up concrete proof.
The way in which Jackie discovered the photograph of Krista sporting the necklace was somewhat too handy for my style, but it surely did assist propel the story ahead.
Jackie is battling her addictions, whereas concurrently making an attempt to unravel what’s going on in Cape Cod. What I would love is for Jackie to indicate a bit extra restraint when chasing a lead.
These persons are to not be messed with, and the second they get the primary sniff of her tailing them, she’s going to seek out herself in some scary conditions.
Hello, Jackie Quinones, I am the one who discovered Sherry Henry. Please inform Ray Abruzzo to name me again.
Jackie
Jackie is extra impulsive than frightened. By means of two episodes, she’s leaped head-first right into a case that may very well be her undoing, and that is commendable.
For somebody who’s clearly struggling, she’s placing all of her power into discovering out the reality. Whether or not she is going to make it by way of the opposite facet, we do not know.
Going to what was very clearly a home used for medication was a ballsy transfer, however she regarded the half. If she wished to mix in, she did properly, however her causes for in search of Krista sounded off.
This does come again to the impulsiveness of our lead. She’s not one for pondering issues by way of, and I hope that if she and Ray work collectively, she will be able to discover a technique to be extra cautious.
Calling Ray with the data will solely assist his case in opposition to Frankie, so there is a good likelihood they’ll work collectively.
Krista is the important thing to telling the cops what actually occurred, so it is smart that there’s an urgency for Jackie to seek out her.
Jackie’s tenure within the facility didn’t final lengthy, largely as a result of she at all times has to have the final phrase in an argument. Hopefully, she manages to return sometime to assist herself out.
There’s going to be a wrestle when the reality inevitably comes out about Junior. Junior is desperately making an attempt to cease Jackie from following the case as a result of he is aware of it can put them on opposing sides.
However Junior can be struggling internally due to his dangerous determination. It may come again to hang-out him, and his relationship together with his greatest pal has been ceaselessly modified consequently.
We ended Hightown Season 1 Episode 1 with Junior discovering Sherry’s nail on the boat, and we ended Hightown Season 1 Episode 2 with him taking Jackie out to sea.
Jackie: You realize I discovered a useless woman on the seashore? So, I discovered this image and it looks like I gotta do one thing to avoid wasting this woman. Is that loopy?
Junior: Yeah, it is loopy. You realize you are a fish cop, proper?
I recognize the necessity to maintain viewers speaking concerning the present into the following episode, however we already know that Junior is innocent. Certain, he is accomplished some horrible issues, however he has a coronary heart.
He would most likely relatively come clear than must do something about Jackie. The desperation in his voice when he reminded Jackie that she was not an actual detective was his manner of making an attempt to coerce her into forgetting concerning the case.
Their friendship is on the core of the present, and it will be good for them to maneuver on from it. Nonetheless, Jackie needs the folks behind the slaying dropped at justice and studying that her pal performed a job goes to destroy her.
Ray orchestrating the assembly between Renee and Osito may need appeared like a good suggestion on the time, but it surely was one other poorly executed plan.
Individuals on this present actually wrestle with plans, it appears.
Renee’s reservations had been warranted, and if anybody can sniff out a rat, it is Osito. Frankie is inevitably going to seek out out about her getting nearer to Ray, however I am beginning to get the sensation Ray is not only utilizing Renee.
His life is not at all excellent, and that is partly why he is discovering solace within the arms of Renee. He genuinely enjoys her firm, however he is additionally breaking a number of guidelines.
It is not an excellent search for him to be getting near the numerous different of the person he is making an attempt to maintain behind bars, and I am unsure he’ll be capable to maintain his credibility intact when it comes out.
“Severely Weatherbeaten” moved the story alongside at a brisk tempo. The characters are all coping with some heavy issues, and far of the subjects usually are not being mentioned on TV in the intervening time, so the sequence continues to supply one thing new.
What did you consider the way in which Jackie acted? Ought to she quit the seek for solutions? What’s going to develop into of Junior? Do you suppose he’ll come clear?
