Ballard fans, gather ‘round! We’ve got some exciting news about the second season of your favorite detective drama, which will be returning to Prime Video in no time. The finale of season 1 ended in perhaps the most dramatic fashion possible, with (SPOILER ALERT!): Detective Renee Ballard being targeted by officers as the number one suspect for the murder of a fellow detective, Robert Olivas.
The notion of the virtuous crime solver being targeted as the prime suspect is the ultimate irony, making for some riveting television if you ask me. When that finale episode aired, and Renee was being handcuffed by the very people who were supposed to be her teammates, I found myself gasping at my TV.
The stakes were always high on Ballard, but now things are getting oh-so out of hand for poor Renee, in preparation for season 2. (Just my cup of tea when it comes to my preferences for dramatic television.) I’ve always found Renee Ballard (portrayed by the brilliant Maggie Q) to be one of the most complex characters on television, so it will be thrilling to witness the psychological aftermath of all that transpired in season 1. How will Renee get out of this situation? Will she be able to, or is this a hopeless cause? I’m honestly at the edge of my seat waiting for an answer.
