According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, to vindicate is "to free from allegation or blame."
Pureflix has just released the second season of their popular crime drama, Vindication, and my son and I binged the first season to get ready! The ten episodes of the first season did not disappoint. At the beginning, it looked like each episode was going to be a separate case, and while that was true, later in the season, you started to see background story that was weaving through them all with Detective Travis and his family. The plot was integrated well and the characters and their issues were believable.
While the show is produced with a Christian worldview and is marketed as teen-friendly, I would interject that it is more for older teens. The subject matter is dealt with appropriately, but the show does deal with adult themes such as affairs, drugs, human trafficking, and prostitution. It also deals with teenage relationships and sexting, and if your teen is ready to discuss these topics, it is a good breaking ground for discussion. I watched Season 1 with my 15-year-old son, and while the plot kept him somewhat interested in watching all the episodes to see what would happen, the show was a bit intense for him; he prefers lighter subjects and a bit of humor. He hasn't really watched other police dramas.
As crime dramas go, this one is top-notch, and the actors are stellar. I am excited to see T.C. Stallings join the cast in Season 2!
Next week I will be reviewing an episode of Season 2, and of course there will be a giveaway, so stay tuned!
