Finding Faith and Thrills: My Binge-Watch of Vindication on Pure Flix
As someone who loves crime dramas and seeks faith-based content, it’s rare to find a show that blends the two seamlessly. Enter Vindication, a gripping series set in a Dallas suburb that I stumbled upon while resting after battling a cold. I wasn’t expecting to binge-watch all three seasons in one weekend, but I was hooked by episode three and couldn’t stop!
Vindication, written and produced by Texas native Jared O'Flaherty, started as a short video for his church in Burleson, but it quickly grew into something bigger. Now, it’s a fully developed show that tackles real, edgy issues without crossing lines or compromising its Christian values. The show’s balance of tough topics and faith-filled moments drew me in completely.
At the heart of Vindication is Detective Travis and his family. Their relationships and faith are woven into the weekly crime investigations, making them feel relatable and grounded. I found myself on the edge of my seat as each episode ended on a cliffhanger, eagerly diving into the next.
The realism of the storylines is what sets Vindication apart. Whether it’s tackling issues like addiction, betrayal, or injustice, the show never shies away from uncomfortable truths, but it handles them with care. It’s a tough balance to strike, but Jared O'Flaherty and his team have done it beautifully.
Even though the show came out a few years ago, I only recently discovered it, and I’m thrilled to know that Season 4 is on the horizon! In the meantime, I’ve been enjoying interviews with Jared, learning more about his vision for the series and his journey from creating a short film for his church to producing an entire series.
If you’re looking for a faith-based crime drama that’s engaging, thought-provoking, and leaves you wanting more, I can’t recommend Vindication enough.
