Baptiste Review

Baptiste’s first season is coming an end. I am slightly divided. On one hand, the show is pretty good. On the other, it isn’t as good as The Missing. It is more action packed and less emotionally meaningful. I’ve enjoyed the season, but believe it could have been far better. I would watch a second season either way. This episode was okay. It scores a 7.5 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of Baptiste right now!
