T2 WHATS UP! July 24 - 30, 2022 TV FEATURE BY SARAH PASSINGHAM TV Media W hen a lethal cult of personality forms around one wom- an at the center of a web of murders in Britain, DI Jackson Mendy (Babou Ceesay, "Wolfe") and DS Lola Franks (Eve Myles, "Little Dorrit") are hot on the case in "We Hunt To- gether." They try harder than ever to get to the bottom of a se- ries of killings in the show's Sea- son 2 finale, airing Sunday, July 24, on Showtime. The dark crime drama began in 2020 as Freddy Lane, por- trayed by Hermione Corfield ("The Misfits," 2021), meets Baba (Dipo Ola, "Landscapers") in the bathrooms of the club where he works. When Freddy's date attacks her and Baba quick- ly intervenes, the two become bound to each other by his pro- tection of her. The "partners in crime," as Freddy names herself and Baba, team up — Season 1 spoilers ahead — to eliminate those who set Freddy's life on a path of sur- vival throughout her troubled upbringing. They begin with her date, ambushing him in his own home, before taking on the task of eliminating another man, to whom Freddy must repay a loan. But when a third man drunkenly stumbles upon their staged crime scene, Baba is forced to take drastic action. Confident that she and Baba are making smart enough moves to evade police capture, Freddy underestimates the equally skilled pair of investiga- tors on their trail. Jackson and Lola are immediately suspicious of Freddy and narrow their in- vestigation in on her despite or- ders from their doubting superi- or officer, DSI Susan Smart (Vicki Pepperdine "Getting On"). Hunting the hunters, Jackson and Lola pick up on clues that Freddy and Baba don't realize they've left behind, and together uncover a story from Freddy's path that she's been keeping from Baba — something that changes everything. Instantly devoted to Freddy, Baba is seemingly intoxicated by her attention. With an even more difficult past behind him, Baba is inclined to protect Fred- dy and right the wrongs she's en- dured despite his own pain and trauma. While they do share a connection built on violence and secrets, Freddy rewrites some of her own history to keep Baba on her side. Deep into their first-season killing spree, Freddy brings Baba with her to confront an abusive teacher in her home- town who was involved in the death of her childhood best friend. Though Freddy is hiding the truth about her friend's mur- der, Baba learns of her decep- tion too late. The two disagree on the next steps, but Freddy, as usual, gets her way and her for- mer teacher joins their list of victims. With the police closing in on them, Freddy and Baba are forced to flee into the woods, leading to the tragic shootout in the Season 1 finale. Equally mysterious and twist- ing, "We Hunt Together's" sec- ond season sees Freddy become a martyr in the wake of Baba's Bentonville Acupuncture 5 x 5 continued on page T10 Hermione Corfield in "We Hunt Together" Cat and mouse www.nwaonline.com Did you know those images are available for purchase?
