S02.E07: Say His Name

[ohjoy]

Aaron takes on the case of an unarmed man shot by a police officer. Safiya represents Ronnie after he’s arrested and roughed up by law enforcement, and the family struggles with whether to have Aaron Jr. baptized.

So the entire point to Aaron Jrs baptism was to visually juxtapose against the burial at the end? Mr. Wallace named as a special prosecutor by the Attorney General, sure why not.

Was Masry always a lawyer or was this a retcon to keep her character on the show? Is lawyer to warden a common career trajectory?

I was wondering how they’d keep this show going after he got out of prison but so far they are keeping it pretty topical with his wife as a nurse during COVID as well as bringing in the George Floyd protests. 
 

Although since this is obviously taking place at the beginning of the pandemic it is kind of funny how all the characters keep saying “I tested negative”. Tests were pretty hard to find then and I heard of people with symptoms who couldn’t get tested. But I guess they just want the actors to take off their masks.

When you consider that so many FBI Agents are lawyers it doesn't seem odd for many in law enforcement to also have their card, even if not in practice. I would think that few prison administrators rose from Correctional Officer duty to being a warden.
