The opening episode of The Rising introduces us to the recently deceased Neve Kelly (Clara Rugaard) who awakes in a lake only dimly aware of the previous night’s events. While her parents grow increasingly concerned over her absence, Neve continues to make her way home only to arrive and find she cannot interact with her mother (Emily Taaffe). Slowly realizing that she’s a ghost, Neve eventually uses the methods available she has to interact with the living world to lead the search party to her body. The show’s frantic emotional core and cinematic style make for a hell of an introduction, although I do wonder where things go from here.

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.

The penultimate episode of the season follows up from events from the previous week involving the death of Lenny Broussard (French Stewart) while also paving the way to next week’s finale. Despite being on forced leave pending an investigation, and having reason to try and distance herself from Will (Ramón Rodríguez) who knows she isn’t telling the complete truth about what happened, Angie (Erika Christensen) helps out on the latest case which includes victims from the same group home she and Will stayed in. The case also has a connection to a case from Wagner’s (Sonja Sohn) past which ties into a secret she’s been keeping from Will her entire life.
