Chicago PD Season 12 has consistently succeeded in delving into the characters in new ways.
In most cases, the series found a nice pace when executing character-centric installments without spoiling what we like most about the series.
It’s time for Dante Torres to be his man, Chicago PD Episode 12 Episode 12 is a slow and dark time that put him in crisis.
In many ways, Chicago PD has done more than it has been years ago to some established roles.
I feel like we are in line with Torres, and we may not be with our past characters, at least not very quickly.
One of the ongoing themes of the character is that he is a firm believer who accounts for a large part of his life. In almost every single episode, they are focused on the character, his faith has a strong presence and is an integral part of his identity.
The hour began when he lay in bed, pulled out the Bible and read his verse of the day, which coincided with the hour’s title, “The Good Shepherd.”
We also see him at Mass, listening to the pastor talk about God’s grace and how important it is to love himself and know his worth. This is a message that resonates with Torres, who, as far as we know, struggles with that.
Moreover, it overly incorporates the secrets that prompted him to volunteer to go to the teenage facilities. I noticed Kai’s body rattle. You can see his face.
But while we haven’t had a chance to sign in correctly with Torres since Chicago PD Season 12 Episode 9, the subtle things we’ve seen since show that he’s trying to make things right and prove his worth.
He felt that he had something to prove to the department that could make up for the Gloria incident, and that the root cause of the case he had done in him, despite its trauma, it was because it was a professional field for him , although they forgive and keep moving forward, he is still trying to feel worthy of wisdom.
Again, hours are a slow burn. Until halfway through, we didn’t feel the proper feeling about what was happening. For performances that always have the knack for high adrenaline action, this can be a period of adjustment for some and a “boring” period of adjustment for others.
I want to think of it as a quiet time, it’s about Torres and his introspective nature of his personality study. My favorite thing about Torres-centric installments is the performance of Benjamin Levy Aguilar.
As time goes by, he fits deeply into the character, which appears in his every move and line. He lost his work and was enjoyable to watch and experience as an audience.
Perhaps that’s why Torres continues to resonate, especially when we peel all these layers to him, even if it means wading into dark and painful realms.
One of the most striking moments when the doors closed behind him was Torres’ panic. It was an immersive moment because I almost felt his anxiety, looking at him.
He bravely and bravely caused serious trauma to the concrete walls and metal fences of his place, but he didn’t realize how much he was still carrying. You can stay away from trauma, but never leave you, and when it’s not resolved, it’s especially challenging.
Torres’s PTSD lifted his head several times throughout the hour, but it was convincing about how the series was performed, it was subtle. He panicked when the cell was closed, but he had to work hard.
He pushed everything, but we could still hear him breathlessly, he was his crazy energy, and all these signs.
He was the same when he had to figure out where Tommy disappeared, and the other guards gave him a run.
While there are some problems with the Chicago PD’s past, how to ignore other characters when one of their own struggles, here I appreciate other people feeling something but still believe Torres can do the job.
They know when to intervene and intervene, and of all, Kiana and Torres are the best fit. It makes sense that after they shared in Chicago PD Season 12 Episode 5, she became more aware of where his headspace might be.
Kiana is a great supporter to others. I’ve mentioned that she hasn’t paired with people who aren’t pure gold, and that’s the truth.
Of course, I am the latest addition to the latest team compared to others, and I have a special liking for her and Torres’ latest members compared to others.
It’s easy to joke about the couple being a new era for Chicago PD, but it’s the truth. Their partnership feels special and the series is spending time building it.
After the incident, we did not see any direct modifications between them, but even though Kiana still felt that they had lost trust, her support was undoubtedly true.
She also knew that with him, a lot of beer was brewed under the surface, and Kiana allowed Torres to take root in Torres’s strength. It is no surprise that when he takes out Collins, she is by his side, and she is the one who can speak in the hottest people at the moment.
It was no different when she signed with him in the case of the detention center, knowing his connection to the place. Again, these are subtle moments, but they aroused my interest in my own dynamics.
If Torres is on the path of his crisis of faith, I can’t help but ask a character like Kim, who has been his strong mentor lately and the connection between Kiana and him There is a convincing connection that will potentially pull him from the edge.
For Torres, if there was a case like this that would make him feel lonely and away from God, that would be like this.
The boy’s sex trafficking in juvenile facilities is so outrageous that it feels like it should be Law & Order: SVU installments. The actor who played Collins even starred in one of them.
But we know that juvenile facilities are different from adult prisons and are not a dark place that often involves for-profit businessmen.
Too many people don’t think of those who land in these places. Collins believes the boys have been “breaked”, which means their lives are no longer important. Disgustingly, how easy it is for him to make these children inhumane.
It is heartbreaking to learn that Kai’s death is the result of a horrible incident of escaping from the basement, poor Tommy seems to be suffering and cannot be repaired.
But the compelling point of view is that art plays an important role in trafficking. Torres saw his art as a teenager and did unspeakable things under coercion and could not reconcile them.
The art embellished the other boys and left them to stop their abuse. He is a victim like everyone else, but like a man struggling with faith, he can’t figure out how God forgives what he does.
Their belief is the way Torres can reach art. He could show this young man that there was light at the end of the tunnel and a second chance existed.
Surprisingly, Torres thought he was instilling hope in love and forgiveness in art, but he walked away and struggled.
Just remind Torres not to close the door with his own trauma. This hour hasn’t confirmed whether he’s suffered the same level of sexual abuse, but we know Torres has some serious demons that he can’t shake.
He thought he had found peace and comfort in his faith, but sitting in that church and listening to the pastor, Torres never felt lonely. Torres didn’t feel God’s protective cloak around him, and probably didn’t feel that he deserved it.
An hour begins, it’s a lesson about value to Torres feels unworthy of God’s forgiveness and everything he’s working with after that case.
Rarely are the roles of exploring faith, and they do not always do it in a real or positive way. In some ways, seeing through Torres is refreshing. I’m also curious that he can go beyond his faith and given how time ends, we might find out earlier rather than later.
Added instructions:
- I assume Ruzek is still exhausted from the crossover and feels chilling with Mak and Disco Bob.
- Love seeing cooking water pairing. Please more in these two!
- On the shallow notes, I thank the shirtless Torres scene.
- Only once, I hope the pedophiles are thrown into jail by the police rather than committing suicide.
