Now THIS was a good episode. It's a shame that Michael Sheen couldn't be a part of it because he's such a delight as Martin Whitly. It's still with moments so stupid they could only happen on Prodigal Son still even the description does it.
Knowing that the “Junkyard Killer” was in cahoots with his father, Malcolm goes against the FBI’s wishes and continues to investigate.
No he doesn't. He actually complies with the FBI wishes. It's doing the work on a completely unrelated case that leads him to find out that the cases are directly related. And then to watch the FBI profiler complain about him not staying off her case when he did is just silly.
Ainsly decides that airing the Martin Whitly interview is her "taking control of the narrative" and "telling her own story". This is both stupid and wrong. She was much more relatable in the hospital talking about how she wanted a piece of the action and how she's been denied knowledge of her father her whole life. I LIKED that Ainesly but here she comes off as petulant.
Bringing it home of course is Bellamy Young as Jessica Whitly. Who decides to get some agency and actually takes control of the narrative and maybe from a certain perspective actually tells her own story. She was brilliant. It was emotional and it felt earned.
There's also an A story with Bright discovering a killer's childhood home with twists and stuff but whatever, the only surprise there is that they weren't being poisoned like I thought they were. Bellamy Young has been low key carrying this show when Michael Sheen isn't around.
