Surreptitious_Vin Review of Trigger Point

Trigger Point (2022– )

Season finale was a disaster after a great build up.

[6/10 · 12 February 2024]

I almost couldn't watch this last episode. After a riveting 5 episodes, Lana is finally faced with the formidable group The Wave, A group smart enough to rig light sensitive explosives and secondary triggers pressure plates and other "advanced tech" according to Bomb Data Analysis expert Dr. Sonya Reeves, are holistically and hilariously dumbed down in this episode. They are suddenly dependent on Lana Washington to complete their final task, treating her as part of the group, revealing their plans to her and like. Their only insurance against her, holding her family hostage. It becomes so cliched at this point that it pilfers the entire buildup of the season at this final moment. It seems like the producers planned for a longer run this season but suddenly got a call to limit it to 6 eps and they had to rush to tie up the end regardless of whether it made sense. About the character development and methodology to police work, I wont even get there. An officer like the lead would have been fired on Day01 for insubordination. Thats how it works in the rea world and it couldn't be further from it here. Ill generously give it a 6 after this debacle of an episode.
