The season one finale begins with a press conference from the hospital where young Paul is being treated for malnutrition, and a head wound caused by having his ear cut off. Then Chace Fletcher introduces the show and promises that this is not the movies and there are no happy endings, just consequences. That sort […]
Trust: White Car In A Snowstorm
We start with Fletcher and Paul’s mom sitting in a white car in a snowstorm waiting for the exchange. Fletcher tries to break the tension by admitting that he has a son. He’s “about 12.” Clearly he hasn’t seen him in a long time and is ashamed about that. Then we flashback. In Italy, one […]
Trust: In The Name Of The Father
I could have sworn I saw the last episode of Trust on my DVR just today, but it appears it was deleted somehow. So now I have to watch it On Demand. This will make recapping hard because I usually can’t really pause shows On Demand. Primo and his sidekick pull up to Leonardo’s house […]
Trust: Kodachrome
The first minute or two of my recording was knocked off. I start in Rome with one of the mobsters telling his wife that the ransom deal has been struck followed by Fletcher Chase supervising a whole lot of money counting. But before we get to all that we have a flashback to middle Paul […]
Trust: John Chapter 11
The episode begins with no dialogue as a military man gives Gail the news that a body has been founded burned beyond recognition at the hostage house. She is asked to come in to identify the body. Well, the shoes on the body at least. She recognizes them as young Paul’s. We see her mind […]
Trust: Silenzio
When last we left, young Paul and Angelo were on the run after Primo decided to kill Paul because of the lowball ransom offer by Getty. This episode opens with Primo at the gas station where apparently he was too drunk and high to get gas and he had to wait until morning for the […]
Trust: That’s All Folks
We start tonight with young Paul tied to a tree next to Berto’s dead body as Primo snaps a Polaroid of the situation for young Paul’s mother, presumably as proof of life, and well…death. Primo runs off to his uncle’s shack and finds him chatting with his trusted accountant. Aren’t they supposed to be mafioso? […]
Trust: La Dolce Vita
Last night’s Trust was a bumpy ride for viewers and young Paul who spent a lot of time in the trunks of cars. I kept waiting to understand what I was seeing before typing anything into the recap and was glued to the screen until the show ended without writing a word. So today, I’m […]
Trust: Lone Star
I tried to do a recap last night without really doing a recap and didn’t come up with enough to say. I thought Brendan Fraser was fantastic as Fletcher Chace the cowboy head of security for Getty Sr. Security dude, Fletcher, asks the butler in the late morning why he is just now telling anyone […]
Trust: The House Of Getty
The opening credits are not even finished rolling yet and I am mesmerized. The direction alone is just perfection. I looked it up and the director of the first three episodes is Danny Boyle who has done a lot of movies but most notably to me was Slumdog Millionaire which was just fantastically directed. He’s […]
New Show Tonight On FX: Trust
I forgot this show until my calendar reminded me today so it’s not included in this week’s open forum. And since I have totally abandoned reading the comments on that post this week because I’m trying to keep things upbeat, I’m going to give it its own post. Please keep your comments here on the […]
