And I just wanted to make sure you were okay. And if peaceful silence is what you need, then that's cool too.

So I started watching Found. A show about a team of vigilante-adjacent civilians who search for missing people (specifically the ones that get forgotten by cops). Lead by Gabi Mosely, a former kidnapping victim who's now holding her childhood kidnapper locked up in her basement.

As one does.

And honestly it's pretty great.

Here's the trailer:

The relationship between Gabi and Sir (don't ask!) is just as much of an emotional landmine clusterfuck as you might think. And will probably appeal to the fans of stuff like Prodigal Son (in the sense that we've got the hero in a codependent association with their abuser as they try get that abuser to help them investigate and save other people from the things they once put other people through).

But there's also a pretty great team around Gabi and that part of the show will probably appeal to the people who enjoy shows like Leverage, The Equalizer and Lie to Me (which, coincidentally they actually kinda have Gillian Foster's actress as the Cal Lightman of the team... but with less ego).

So the team...

Gabi Mosely. The main character and the team leader. She's the crusader of the team. Cares about the victims so much. Is willing to do absolutely anything to reunite the missing people with their families.

Margaret Reed. Gabi's lead investigator who developed her deductive reasoning and Sherlock Holmes levels attention to detail after her son went missing. It's a non-superpower superpower.

She juggles the two sides of tragic optimism like a champ.

There's Dhan Rana. The muscle of the team with PTSD from his own time in captivity (details to be revealed but my personal current guess is time as prisoner of war... don't quote me on that though).

Very ride or die, especially where Gabi's concerned (I mean this in a platonic sense, he's got a husband).

Then there's Zeke Wallace. The tech support and occasional hacker for the team. Suffers from agoraphobia, ergo can't leave his apartment because of trauma from his own kidnapping (details unknown, but initial guess is that he was kidnapped for ransom, his family money seems to at least partially fund their operation).

There's also a token cop character named Mark Trent. He's... fine.

And finally, my favorite out of everyone there, Lacey Quinn. The law student moonlighting as legal assistant.

I've got a more detailed description of her role in the story but as it's a bit of a spoiler (though something that gets revealed within the first few episodes) I'm putting it under a cut (you can decide for yourself if a reveal that happens within the first three episodes is too big for you or not).

Lacey too was kidnapped as a child by Sir and then saved by Gabi when the two of them managed to escape. Since then the two have developed a very close sisterly bond.

Lacey however is NOT aware that her former kidnapper is locked up in Gabi's basement.

THE DRAMA! 💣💥🥳

Last week must have been wild for me cuz I completely forgot to watch Found. Anyway I just watched the episode; all I can say is what the f***?? I can't describe what I just experienced here. It definitely feels like Sir does not see Gabi like his daughter anymore. They truly have this really really confusing behind chemistry going on.

You can't have lines like we belong together we're partners tell me you love me and still be like oh this is not sexual in the slightest. It sure as hell ain't platonic or familial either. But I can't even get mad because they were the whole reason I got into the show in the first place. It's just leaving me with a headache because of all the confusion. I wasn't expecting him to hate Lacey though.

Also are they trying to start something between Zeke and Lacey? I honestly wouldn't care either way but man it is going to be awkward in their office if any of them become involved. Though I do like that Lacey and Dhan both see Zeke's place as a safe space.

I didn't see the promo but apparently Lacey is going to confront Gabi and I need to see how this plays out. It's been a long time coming.

The Man in the Chair

Pairing: Dhan Rana x Zeke Wallace Word Count: 1.2K Tags: Phobias, Disassociation, Trauma (All mild), Subtle Emotional Infidelity (if you squint?) Summary: Dhan likes talking to Zeke. And he hates that he likes it so much. But he'd never tell Zeke that. A/N: Just a slice of conversation between a grumpy vet and a ray of sunshine techie. You could read this as romantic or platonic tbh.

--

"Okay, Dhan, you did it. You survived. It's fine."

He took a deep breath, leaning over the sink and staring into his own eyes in the streaky, fogged up mirror.

He knew the door was quadruple locked. He checked once, twice, three times both before and after he got out the shower. And though the silence in the apartment unnerved him, it was better than the alternative. Once he felt semi-safe enough to relax, he played some low meditation music that Margaret recommended for him.

Typically, Dhan had a specific way of doing things: Lay clothes out, iron them, shower, hair maintenance, put on clothes, make the bed, head out. Muscle memory made his routine second nature. In his husband's absence, however, everything just felt...off. Like everything in his apartment had been moved two inches to the left when he wasn't looking, and he'd forgotten how to function.

He'd been trying to spend as little time in the confines of his shared home as possible.

As if summoned telepathically, his music was interrupted by an incoming FaceTime call from The Man in the Chair. He involuntarily felt the corner of his mouth twitch and he mentally kicked himself, schooling his features before accepting the call.

"What's going on?" Dhan said after clearing his throat, "Any updates on the text transcripts?"

Zeke quirked a brow at him, "I mean yeah, but why do you look so...wet?"

Dhan glanced at the smaller version of himself on the screen in confusion. His dark, damp hair flopped over his brows and droplets of water rolled down his face, staining his shirt. The one time chose to wear something other than black.

He did, in fact, look like he'd just survived a drowning attempt. Dhan sighed in deep exhaustion at the prospect of putting in effort to dry his hair, after already using so much energy to just get up and get dressed.

"I just showered, sorry for...this," he motioned to himself tiredly, "I'll get around to it. Eventually."

Zeke let out a good natured chuckle, rapidly typing something on his desktop keyboard as he spoke, "Hey, I'm not judging you! I just figured you were going for a new look. I think we all had an emo phase once, right? Who's to say you can't have another one at like...what? Thirty--?"

"--Ok, I get it, I look like shit." Dhan couldn't help the snort that escaped from him at Zeke's ribbing, "We can't always look neat and polished like you, rich boy."

Zeke's eyes flickered to Dhan's face on the screen for a moment and he laughed, "I was born with the natural ability to look good. Money has nothing to do with it, bro."

...Bro?

Dhan felt something in his brain twitch. Like the disappointment a child might feel when a parent denies them their favorite candy. He brushed it off. Or maybe he filed it away for later. He couldn't really be honest with himself about whether it was worth exploring further.

"The transcripts?" Dhan continued, rolling his eyes semi-jokingly, "What's going on with them?"

Zeke said nothing, but Dhan heard the telltale *ding* of a new message on his phone.

"I've just dropped the file into the shared drive, and I sent you the keycode for it." Zeke finally stopped typing to face the screen directly, "It's about 238 pages of text, but I've highlighted the important parts between July 3rd and September 22nd. Hopefully that makes it a little easier to skim."

"Thanks, buddy."

Buddy? The word felt like battery acid in his mouth.

"Buddy?" Zeke grinned, "Now I know you're feeling a bit off, today." When his gaze suddenly softened in sympathy, Dhan had to look away to feign interest in towel drying his hair. The younger man's kindness was disarming sometimes. Most times. It took a while for Dhan to get comfortable with it.

He didn't understand what Zeke got out of this other than an occasional gaming partner and someone to bounce bad jokes off of. Sometimes Zeke looked at Dhan with so much genuine care that it made him want to scream.

Stop looking at me like that! Stop fucking pitying me! I'm not a pitiful person. I've been at this for longer than you. Stop making me want to spill my guts.

Stop looking at me like I mean something to you.

"I still feel weird. Like, uh...Like my brain and my body are on different hemispheres, you know?" He confessed, intentionally avoiding eye contact.

Zeke hummed, "I've been there. Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to lasso my brain back into its rightful place, and it just won't budge. Other times I feel like I'm scattered everywhere like little particles of dust while my body stays stuck in this chair. I almost wish that were true. Maybe then this space wouldn't feel so suffocating sometimes."

There was an amicable silence between the two men as Dhan absentmindedly dried his hair.

Finally, he broke the silence and started to ask, "Have you, you know, tried going outside again since the--"

"No." Zeke flatly responded, instinctively pressing his hand to the scar on his forehead, "It's just...I'm not ready yet."

It was understandable. If Dhan's first time facing his fears in ages resulted in an injury that required a concussion check up, he'd be hesitant to try it again, too. Draping the towel over his shoulders, Dhan rubbed the back of his neck.

"It was impressive taking the chance even though you were afraid, by the way. I don't know if I ever, like, said that. To you. About that."

Zeke offered a weak smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. It didn't look right on him. Dhan awkwardly rushed to add, "And, hey, you're gonna have to check out my gaming setup sometime. You can only do that if you visit. You can't get jealous when you see it, though."

He grinned at Dhan. A wide, toothy grin that made his stomach swoop, “Yeah. Yeah, I’d like that. But, seriously, don’t get too cocky. You’ve already seen mine and I’m still adding to it.”

At this, Dhan couldn’t help but smile back at his enthusiasm, even if it wasn’t as big and bright as Zeke’s. Though, could anyone’s smile match his? He allowed his mind to wander for a moment, indulging in the idea that he could never find another person who smiles at him like he does. It was nice to forget the complications of his existence for a while.

“I’m gonna, um, work on these…these files,” Dhan said, coming back into focus to find Zeke working on something off screen. “Thanks for sending them over.”

Zeke offered a casual salute in response, “Anytime, Rana. Call me if you need anything!”

He knew that, to Zeke, that last sentence meant multiple things. And Dhan had to wonder if he knew the effect he had on people.

Did he have this effect on people? Or did he just have this effect on him?

Dhan leaned against the sink again as the call ended and took a deep breath. In through the nose, out through the mouth. He ran his fingers through his damp hair.

Suddenly—for reasons that were completely unrelated to the previous conversation—he found the motivation to get himself together for the day.

[windshield91]

I noticed something all characters' traumas resulting in them being alone except Dhan.

Dahn: As a result of being held captive, he can't be alone. Does this inflected his marriage decision? How it affects his ways of dealing with his personal life problems.

Gabi: With Sir in her non soundproof basement. She couldn't keep dating Trent or even had anyone in her place. Trusting Sir to keep quiet when someone visited.

Margaret: Her loss and grief ended her marriage, abandoned her other kids, and asked to waive her parental rights.

Lacey: Her home is clearly her safe place. I can't see her inviting anyone in or trusting to go. maybe had some causal things.

Zeke: Same as Lacey. His trust issues and agoraphobia may cause a strain in his relationships.

I can’t wait until we get flashback episodes for everyone else on the team and their trauma stories. There defining moments.

Dhan being held captive, the mission where he got captured. His friendship with Mike.

Terrified Baby Zeke being abducted and crying for his mom and dad. Going home and finding that he can’t bring himself to leave.

Margaret turning around and finding her baby is gone. Watching her train her mind in desperation to find answers. See her relationship with her family crumbling.

Just more flashbacks please!!!

I had so much fun watching Found on NBC. Gabi Mosely is a fascinating lead. I love the entire team and how the way their trauma affects them is handled by the writers.

(minor spoilers below cut)

Things like Zeke not being able to leave his home even when he desperately, more than anything, wanted to race out and help his team. By showing that he couldn't step outside the door, even when it was the only thing he wanted to do, meant the show avoided the implication that if you care about someone enough you'll always "overcome" what's stopping you.

I was also worried that they might make Margaret's character too similar to the role Kelli Williams played in Lie to Me, but I was pleasantly surprised that they managed to avoid that for the most part.

I really appreciated the nuances and differences in the portrayals of trauma and disability in the core five members of Mosely and Associates. As for the dynamics between Gabi and Evans? I am looking forward to what chaos that is going to rain down on the team next season.

I am glad it has been renewed for Season two. I hope they get their planned five season arc.

DHAN RANA and ZEKE WALLACE in FOUND | 1.03 "Missing While Widowed"

Thoughts on the Found season finale

I didn't expect her closing things down because A. it would have been teased, B. they already fake-outted that in E10 and C. we have a second season so where do we go from here

On the other hand maybe the people who've been partially comparing this to Leverage were right because Leverage also had a 13-episode (but that's more normal for it) first season intended to be a complete story should the series not be renewed and fractured the team near the end of S1 to bring them back together in the S2 premiere

For another Leverage parallel Leverage often kinda sets up kid "pseudo-successors" connecting with the team and being inclined towards wanting to do what they do even if they aren't seen again and it feels like Found was doing that both here with Dasheka and last episode with Aisha and her best friend.

Now that we've seen the flashbacks of him actually being a teacher Sir comes across less neurodivergent to me although that could just be him being very good at masking like how he masked his dark side (either way in addition to obvious ways he's a dick he's kinda a little pretentious)

Well, there went a lot of the more-exciting theories I had about the motives for Zeke's kidnapping that I formed as soon as we learned his dad's a politician (though who knows what still could have been up with his uncle)

Yet again with me predicting some of the other plot twists (that Sir left the photo and that Dasheka's abuse wasn't reported because there was a cover-up going on)

I know episodes of a show aren't shot week-by-week-to-be-done-by-the-airdate but if I didn't know better I'd say the prominence of Ethan this episode out of nowhere was the writers reminding people "Dhan has a husband, stop using him as the Fandom Bicycle"

I'll say this again if I've said it before, there's a lot of freaking fairytale-archetype parallels going on with this ensemble (but not to the level of Bones and the Arthurian stuff) from Gabi being "the princess who saved herself" and Dhan even more her knight-in-shining-armor (albeit platonically) than Trent to Zeke's situation basically being how one would modern-AU-in-a-OUAT-esque-sense a wizard in a tower

But despite the fairytale motif it's still also got the superhero motif cropping up again with Dasheka's comment about the invisible capes (and also making me think back to similarly-chaotic-good sadly-one-season show Rebel a couple years back as that show's "professional activist" lead's whole catchphrase was about "putting on your cape" as a metaphor for social action)

Okay, so. Found. Aside from terrible mustache and what's-going-on-with-that-hair-pleeese-dont, Brett Dalton's character is fine. I mean, if you take him at face value, which I intend to do, you know.

(it reminds me that I have to stay away from tumblr, mostly from the tags, because the comparisons to Grant Ward and some comments I'm not going to quote, are making me so angry. Nope.)

The show overall looks interesting and I like how they have several people with different kinds of trauma revolving around kidnappings and being missing (I presume Dhan was a POW? We'll see), or perhaps other childhood traumas (Zeke?). And I love that each of them reacts and deals with what had happened to them differently -- case in point, Dhan's thoughts about Zeke in only the second episode. Good stuff.

I think I'm gonna watch it. And I'm gonna believe Mark Trent is a good person (who, maybe, also has something painful in his past)

[sarcastichyperbolist]

Life has been lifeing, but I am finally caught up on the latest two episodes of Found!! This show keeps getting better by the episode.

- The dynamic between Dhan and Zeke is so interesting. Dhan went from openly despising Zeke, to actually hanging out with him voluntarily and patching him up. I think they are going to have a really great relationship.

-Mark-Paul is really knocking it out of the park as Sir!!! Even though it has been 20 years, he still has such a hold on Gabi mentally. She may physically be in control, but he has a mental lock on her. With just a few words, he has our girl in a tailspin.

-I was so hopeful for Margaret. Even though I knew that it was most likely going to end up that way, I was still rooting for a happy outcome. My heart is breaking for her.

-Zeke is a cinnamon roll!!!! I only want good things for him!!!! I just want to wrap him up in a big hug!

-Now that Lacey knows that something is up with Gabi pertaining to Sir, I know it is going to cause some friction. I sincerely want to know how she will react when she finds out about what Gabi did.

-Gabi’s father dying being the trigger to Gabi find and locking up Sir was not something I was expecting. When that man came by the house, I initially thought it was her dad.

So much has happened already but I am so ready for more!! This is my new How To Get Away With Murder!!!
