Will Trent has been one in all my favourite prime-time sequence since its 2023 premiere. I look ahead to watching it each week. With glorious performing and riveting storylines, it repeatedly exceeds my expectations. The sequence retains enhancing with age.
Regardless of solely airing just a few episodes of the third season, I’m assured it will likely be one of many present’s greatest but. Each week has delivered thrilling storylines, particularly involving the weekly circumstances. Will Trent Season 3 can also be a brand new chapter for a lot of beloved characters. I really like the season however I’m conflicted a couple of main ongoing plot.
We have to focus on it.
Warning Will Trent Season 2 and Season 3 Episodes 1-4 spoilers are forward. Proceed with warning.
Will Arresting Angie Was A Enormous Recreation Altering Second In Season 2
Will Trent ended its second season with Will (Ramon Rodriguez) arresting Angie (Erika Christensen) for protecting up Crystal’s (Chapel Oaks) homicide of Lenny (French Stewart). It’s a pivotal second for the sequence. Due to the devastation of his actions, Will briefly leaves the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). Will Trent Season 3 opened a number of months later with Will and Angie not working for the GBI.
Nevertheless, by the top of Will Trent Season 3, Episode 3, “Discover a New Pond,” they’re each again there full-time. The previous couple did not have to handle their points till the next episode. Nonetheless, it’s been handled as a serious plot level all through the season’s first few episodes. Will and Angie have instructed others that their former relationship won’t ever be repaired.
Will arresting Angie is such a serious second as a result of arresting a romantic companion doesn’t appear rectifiable. Angie’s future on Will Trent might have ended there. I anticipated her to face some jail time or everlasting suspension.
Season 3 has taken an attention-grabbing method to the storyline. The results of Angie and Will’s actions are very important to this season’s main plots, however not within the methods I as soon as suspected. That’s what’s making me uncertain about the place Season 3 plans to depart issues with Will and Angie.
…However It Has Been Anticlimatic For Angie’s Profession In Will Trent Season 3
I believed the primary episodes of Season 3 might be Angie on trial or imprisoned. It might have allowed Will Trent to experiment and never focus a lot on weekly circumstances. Angie’s quest to justify her actions might have been a compelling Season 3 matter. I by no means believed Angie would go away the sequence completely or go to jail for lengthy. However, I believed the writers would have her actions result in her in jeopardy of dropping every thing.
In actuality, Angie quickly needed to work at a rustic membership. She misplaced the joy of the GBI. She additionally needed to seem in courtroom and attempt to get off suspension. Angie’s time away from the GBI solely lasted for 3 episodes. Her swift return to the GBI made the implications of her actions appear minor. The season begins a number of months after the finale, however that also doesn’t appear to be sufficient time for suspension.
Angie lined up a homicide that allowed for a number of different murders. Not one of the criminals are people who we’re going to mourn. Nevertheless, you’ll count on codes of conduct and ethics from high authorities professionals. Angie ought to have a minimum of been completely suspended from her job.
I hope we see Will Trent handle this kind of lenience in direction of cops. We’d like a storyline that talks in regards to the unfairness of cops committing crimes and having them excused due to their job. Angie’s crimes are forgivable as a result of we all know her intentions had been admirable. Nevertheless, her actions additionally remind me of how generally individuals who work within the legislation area get particular therapy from the courts.
I Help Will’s Choice To Arrest Angie And Am Conflicted On Her Response
I can perceive each views. Angie believes that Will ought to have supported and guarded her it doesn’t matter what. He ought to have put her and them first If he actually cherished her. Will believes Angie ought to have been sincere with him. He can also’t excuse Angie’s legal habits as a result of it goes towards every thing he stands for as a GBI agent. They’re each proper in their very own methods.
Nevertheless, I’m extra on Will’s aspect. Lenny was scum and Crystal was an harmless baby, so nobody blames Angie for making an attempt to assist her and save her from a legal report. Nevertheless, due to her actions, Crystal by no means will get the assistance she wants. She principally had a psychological breakdown that led to her changing into a serial killer.
A number of individuals died, together with Crystal, as a result of Angie protected her. Angie wanted to face some actual penalties for her actions. Additionally, she dedicated against the law by protecting up the homicide. Subsequently, Will couldn’t ignore this as a result of what would then cease him from turning a blind eye at any time when another person he cares about does one thing legal? What’s to cease Will from changing into a legal himself?
If Will pardons Angie, it opens the door to ethical ambiguity. Will has survived so lengthy due to his moral sense, construction, and never permitting an excessive amount of chaos. Defending Angie might have began a detrimental spiral.
So although I perceive Angie’s perspective, I disagree with it. I don’t assume she ought to be so harsh in direction of Will for doing what he wanted to, not simply because it’s the authorized selection, however as a result of it helped hold him from dropping himself. I really like that Angie acknowledges that they each did what they thought was proper. She understands his actions. Nevertheless, she appears to nonetheless choose him for them.
I Hope Will Trent Really Ends Will And Angie’s Romantic Relationship
Truthfully, I used to be by no means a fan of Will and Angie’s romance. It simply appeared prefer it had gone on long gone its expiration date, however each had been too codependent to let go. I wished them to search out new love pursuits. The primary two seasons stored them returning to one another. This simply made me root towards them extra.
Nevertheless, I didn’t hate their pairing sufficient to care if Will Trent ended with them collectively. It wouldn’t be my most well-liked ending for both of them, however I might be nice with it. That has modified now that the writers need us to consider they’re over.
The Will Trent writers are enjoying into this concept that Angie won’t ever forgive Will. They don’t have any romantic future. I hope that is true as a result of I need to see them have new love pursuits and an finish sport that isn’t one another.
I don’t know a lot in regards to the Will Trent ebook sequence. I do, nevertheless, know that Angie shouldn’t be Will’s foremost love curiosity in it. His foremost love curiosity from the books has not but been launched on the present. However, that doesn’t imply she will likely be his last love curiosity. From my understanding, Will Trent the TV present, and Karin Slaughter’s common ebook sequence of the identical title are very totally different. So Will might nonetheless find yourself with Angie or with another person.
Will Trent Season 3 launched a brand new character referred to as Marion (Gina Rodriguez), who will seemingly change into Will’s new love curiosity. I’m excited to see their romance progress and somebody new for Angie.
…However I Hope They Restore Their Friendship
I don’t like Will and Angie as a pair, however I take pleasure in their friendship. Their lengthy historical past is fascinating, and I see them as soulmates, simply not the romantic type. They want one another. Subsequently, I hope that this stress between them resolves itself. I don’t assume they need to return to their previous friendship.
Nevertheless, I wish to see a brand new evolution of it. They will proceed this stress however I would like the season to finish with them mates once more.
This Will Trent storyline remains to be creating so it might change into a key piece of the present’s future. I’m simply fearful it will likely be undone by the top of the season. Will and Angie will likely be again collectively, and their selections can have zero penalties. Let’s hope the writers proceed to make good choices and make this a essential a part of transferring ahead.
Will Trent airs Tuesdays on ABC and streams the next day on Hulu.
