Really enjoyed the first two episodes last night. Random thoughts I had:

-Were the teenagers playing with Will or Julie's bike that night while getting drunk at the Ranger tower? Is that where Ali found it after that kid threw it down?

-When the film crew mentioned the wife's book to Ali the first time I got the impression that the book didn't paint him in a good light for some reason. Ali made some comment about how good of a job she did that stuck out to me.

-I'm not convinced the daughter in LA is dead but think Ali maybe did something on the first or second time through the case that split them apart. Maybe something to do with the wife's book.

-I thought they handled the underlying race stuff pretty well. The first couple of mentions had me wondering if that was going to become some huge theme throughout the show but I thought the scene between Ali and Dorff blatantly addressing it was telling. I'm sure it will be a reoccuring theme but I think the war veteran stuff is gonna be more impactful on the characters.

-Love that they got back to the gritty setting, music, cinematography, etc.

Can't wait for next Sunday!

I think it'll be more than an underlying theme. The look Tom gave Hays when he put his hand on his shoulder to console him in the first episode spoke volumes about race relations in the town.

here's a random thought:
peep hole was drilled from Julie's room looking into Will's room

The tower is on a hill/ridge, the bike Ali found was in a creek bottom.
