r/Marshals_TV_Series

Aside from the truly terrible writing and terrible effects, is there a way this series can drop the whole pivot to horse chases?

S2e1 brought yet more of this silliness then added a helicopter flying over a gunfight at full tilt and a lone. shooter taking out targets. Who the hell is directing this crap.

The bones of the story is there but the acting, directing and script are pure crap. This is the stuff of a gr3 language arts class.

For a Sheridan universe series this show sucks badly.

Synopsis: When Kayce realizes Tate has been taken hostage, he goes rogue in a desperate race to save his son as the Marshals uncover a powerful criminal operation tied to the East Camp land grab. A violent showdown ensues, putting everything Kayce cares about at risk.

So, what did everyone think about the 1st episode of the new season of Marshals?

The episode discussion thread will post at exactly 8:30pm Eastern time when the show is scheduled to air on CBS. The show has a special start time tonight at 8:30 instead of 8:00 pm. Of course it may also be delayed due to football over run, but the thread will be posted starting at 8:30 pm.

Hudnut:
“I think what Kayce’s dealing with is really watching his own son this season turning 18, becoming a man and trying to figure out what kind of Dutton man is he putting out into the world.”

According to the showrunner, that gives Kayce a better understanding of the difficulties his own father faced. There are now many parallels, he explained, between being a single parent and being frustrated with a teenager who has his own ideas about what to do with his life. “[Kayce] found his own path in season one,” Hudnut said. “And what path is Tate going to find this year?”

Hudnut said the team is raising the stakes and the production value this season, with plenty of twists and turns. “We get helicopters, we got a bronc riding team, we have a rodeo,” he teased. “So we’re really just trying to give the fans more of what they took to in Season 1.”

Grimes: Early in Season 2, tragedy strikes again just as Kayce begins to let his guard down. “He opens up just a little bit, and then that happens,” Grimes teased. “And obviously throughout the beginning of our season, he’s dealing with, like, is it me? Am I the reason bad things happen to these people?” Grimes added that Kayce starts to wonder whether he should ever open up again, and that it affects him “in a big, big way.”

Marshall-Green: Pete “Cal” Calvin’s battle with cancer continues this season, and Marshall-Green said it will reshape the unit. “We’re smack dab in the middle of the cancer treatments and, without giving anything away, it’s going to directly affect the team, and there are going to be some dominoes that fall because of it, and there are going to be some new leaders on the team,” he said. He added that the diagnosis will “close a window for him but open a door for others.”

Means: Means said Miles Kittle will keep moving between his loyalties to Broken Rock and his duties as a U.S. Marshal, with more of his time spent on Marshals work this season. That conflict comes to a head in the October 18th episode “Falling Sky,” when the team is sent to track three Broken Rock residents accused of shooting down a military test drone.
