Good guys, bad guys and things reliably go boom every 20 minutes or so.
We need shows like this. I’m all for subtlety, fine writing, immaculate TV vibes—I’m watching Industry like everyone else—but I also need straight-up nonsense. In fact, I require it at the tail end of summer, when fall is at the door and the demands of the serious season loom. So let me recommend UK’s wonderfully silly, ruthlessly tense bomb-squad police drama Trigger Point, which is about to release its second season here in the US and will not tax your brain, nor release you from its grip.
The real analog for Trigger Point, which is shameless in its cliffhangers, its domestic terrorist baddies, its will-she-defuse-the-bomb-in-time sequences, is that paragon of TV tension, 24. After Kiefer Sutherland’s iconic action-drama ran its course back in the ’00s, TV got real prestige-y, and while one wouldn’t want to return to the George W. Bush era , it sure is nice to have something similarly dumb and fun to fire up on the small screen.
