A belated review of We Hunt Together 1.2, which really upped its game.
First, the killing team of Freddy and Baba got another two murders under their belts - or, in at least one case, up hanging from a tree - which is a lot more than the usual one you'd expect from serial killers in a single episode. And our detective team of Jackson and Lola seem even smarter than in the first episode, or at least Jackson did. Lola is revealed as a druggie, which may compromise her work (or maybe not, if we believe what Freud said about at least one drug in his Cocaine Papers).
But the point is that these two teams are pretty evenly matched in terms of wits, verve, and how they support and energize each other. Which means we should be in for a good chess match in this series.
Significantly, the good guys at this point are pretty far along in realizing who the bad guys are. The question, then, is what Freddy and Baba will do to evade being put out of business by the police. Their formula, developed tonight, of killing someone to make him look the suspect, won't be able to last much longer - Lola's already on to them.
So what will they do? Both killers think pretty well on their feet, and Freddy in her own way is a master strategist. I predict that the narrative will soon take a dangerous turn, as either Jackson or Lola or both become hunted by Freddy and Baba. I'll be back here tomorrow night, when the third episode is on, to tell you how this hunter and prey switching roles works out, assuming that's what happens.
