'Baptiste' Season 2, Episode 1 Recap "Obsession"
Like many prestige shows currently on TV, Baptiste's second season begins in medias res. Emma Chambers (Fiona Shaw) wakes up and lowers herself into her wheelchair before meeting Toby (Jamie Maclachlan), assisting her with something not entirely above board. What that is, the show will get back to before this is all over, but until then, it's time to jump 14 months previous to the night before she lost her family.
Emma: I always thought people who do their job for free are either delusional or not very good at it.
But before we cover the setup for this season of Baptiste, we should rewind to the show that initially introduced the character, the BBC series The Missing, which aired over here on STARZ in 2014. Though the show was billed as a mystery thriller, it was really a story about obsession. James Nesbitt starred as Tony, who turned his back for a moment during a football match and never saw his eight-year-old son, Oliver, again.
