Y'all ever see that show, Found? If not, it's a good one.

Full disclosure, Dev and me watched the first season of this show when it first dropped. And while you would think we would've jumped right into season two once it started up... nope. Why? Because I have the memory of a chimp over here and my poor husband ain't too far behind.

So here we are, rewatching season one before we dive into season two. You know, just a little (or lot) recap.

And honestly, it's a good thing we're rewatching, because I forgot waaaaay more than I should've in order for this to make sense. I'm not sure how we forgot all that we have... I'm going to attribute it to the fact we watched it like a year ago... because this show is good. 

I'm a bit obsessed with true crime. I'll watch documentaries until my eyes pop out of my skull... even my poor hubby has managed to get into it with me. While this show isn't true crime... it f*cking could be. It's fascinating.

SPOILER ALERT.

Y'all... I know this starts off serious and Shanola Hampton is kicking ass and taking names. She's a beast in the best kind of way and her merry little crew of vigilantes? YES. The heroes are the best, the villains are the worst, and there's so much to peak my interest it's unreal. 

But honestly? I would be lying if I said my initial reaction wasn't "holy shit! Veronica has to beat Zach Morris's ass??!" Because I f*cking love Mark-Paul Gosselaar but let's be real... Zach Morris for life, motherf*ckers.

A little recap... Gabby (Hampton) was kidnapped by her literature teacher (Gosselaar), Hugh Evans (aka SIR), when she was a teenager. He held her captive for one year/eight days and then brought "home" another victim, little Bella (Walsh). Gabby was having none of it and was finally able to fight her and Bella's way to freedom. They escaped but "Sir" was never caught and they had to live their lives looking over their shoulders. Cut to twenty years later and Gabby is now a force to be reckoned with and has a team of (while SUPER traumatized) badass geniuses that find people that the system has overlooked or forgotten. They use their trauma to save others... by any means necessary. We get to learn why each of the team members are there... one is a POW (Oberoi)... one is a victim of family kidnap (Escarpeta)... one had her son kidnapped when he was little (Williams)... and so on. Essentially, they all want to bring victims home. We watch how they operate and the lengths they're willing to go. They even have the help of their friendly neighborhood policeman (Dalton). And then... motherf*cking plot twist... we learn that Gabby had in fact found "Sir" after all these years and she now has HIM chained in HER basement and is using him to help her cases. 

And while I know her team is going to be super butthurt and emotional when they find out that she's essentially a kidnapper instead of just a kidnapee... well... I'm a bad person. Because I'm here for it. He locked you away and traumatized you to the point your entire life revolves around said trauma? Yeah... Zach Morris got what he got.

*********some odd hours later************

Ok... I'm back now. We watched the first season finale... and then proceeded to watch the first two episodes of season two. And y'all... TOLD YOU they were gonna be butthurt. Ugh, I know she was wrong and that's NOT OK and they all have alot of trauma because of these type situations... BUT I don't like everybody not #TeamGabby and I'm going to need them to fix this sooner rather than later.

So yeah... if you're looking for a new show to binge... THIS ONE.
