One of my favorite new shows from last season is back with a thrilling season premiere that explores how Alec copes with the abduction of his girlfriend. Let’s dive into the recap!
In the season premiere, we pick up from the season one finale cliffhanger of Rose, an MI6 agent who has been in a working and personal relationship with Alec, who was abducted. Moments into the premiere, after Alec helps put away a fraud, he realizes that Rose has been kidnapped, but he thinks it's not your typical kidnapping.
Alec and the team learn of Rose's past with the agency and how she was collateral damage. Alec plays a deadly game when he learns that the abductor is seeking revenge on Rose for the death of his wife and plans to blow up the British international school. Can Alec reason with someone who seeks revenge?
Alec develops a plan that gets Gavin, the abductor, to film Rose's confession on his phone to show proof. While that goes, it gives Alec and even the cops enough time to not only distract Gavin but kill him, which happened.
The relationship between Alec and Rose is on a long distance or, in this case, on hold as she leaves to continue her work and put this case behind her.
"Collateral Damage" was an outstanding premiere for the new season. It effectively continues the narrative established in the previous season; however, it may have concluded Rose's relationship with Alec. This series ranks among my preferred additions from last season. It successfully blends traditional police procedural elements with sociological insights, and its portrayal of psychological perspectives is exemplary. Jesse L. Martin's presence in the lead role is fitting, as he adeptly embodies the character.
Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.
