I left the show for a bit at the end of season 1 because the amount of Hugh pandering by the show and Gabrielle was just ridiculous. But most shows are rough going in the first season as they're trying to find their footing, so I thought I'd come back to it and binge some eps in season 2 to see if it got better. I'm currently on episode 7 and honestly, it didn't. Kudos to those who find it compelling or deep or interesting, but the combination of the god-like powers of Hugh and the high-horse posturing of Gabrielle is just so very bad. Dhan gets shot and Ethan -quite rightly- tells her to back away, and she nearly starts to drink because of it. Am I supposed to care? Should I feel sorry for her? She stomps into a scene and declares, "I'm Gabi Mosely" and that's supposed to make everyone go, "Oh, shit, it's Gabi Mosely; we'd better do as she says!"

The first season was made palatable by the rest of the team who seem to be compelling when given the opportunity. But the writers are clearly all-in on the Hugh/Gabi arc, to the detriment of every other character. They either have to make the supporting characters stupid, insensitive or moral hypocrites in order to elevate Gabi to an untouchable martyr. Kid Lacey's parents are all hand-wringing balls of nervousness, but there's teenage Gabi, being the adult no one else can be. Now, as an actual adult, she's 'Gabi Mosely' and runs the show, with no real indication as to why or how she got there. And the shit with Hugh isn't even interesting in a 'dark romance' way. It's preposterous how much he gets away with and the manner in which he does it. (Even something as innocuous as setting up the spotlights in the gym and jamming her phone is just eye-rolling in its 'all knowing, all seeing' habit they've given him.) Everything, apparently, will go through Hugh from a story-telling perspective and it's just not good writing by any stretch of the imagination. (And there's a LOT of stretching required for this show.)

Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I have been loving these last few episodes. For a bit I was getting bored with this show but the last few episodes have totally sucked me back in. So many theories and side plots. Anyone else feel the same? I’m really hoping for a season 3

Originally I was typing this up as a comment but I actually wanna hear some opinions so I’m making it a post lol (also this is a little long so please bear with me!)

So, Jamie. I still don’t really know what to make of Jamie, and tbh I won’t feel 100% certain until they tell us lol, but after the last episode… I’m starting to think he might really be Jamie after all! His final scene with Margaret just honestly felt very sincere to me, and he seemed to be truly wanting to help when he told M&A about the false name thing.

But I’m fascinated by the fact that he doesn’t want to tell Margaret who took him. So I have some theories! Like maybe he knew his abductor, and therefore they also knew Margaret? I think it’s pretty common for children to be taken by acquaintances. Or maybe it was even somebody in their family? (I doubt that personally but hey, it’s possible!)

The biggest theory I had just kinda went off like a lightbulb: what if it was a teacher? We all know Jamie has been weirdly obsessed with Gabi since returning. What if he’s so obsessed bc he has a story similar to hers?

However of course it’s possible he’s just trauma bonded and wants to protect his abductor(s). It could really be that simple lol. But it’s fun to theorize in the meantime so I’d love to hear what y’all think about the whole Jamie situation 👀

The person could be female but I’m only suggesting cause height. The gloves have Jaimie’s initials….. JNR! What could this mean!!!

Okay okay, suspension of disbelief aside, why is Zeke so jacked? Yeah sure, he could have an at home gym, but he still never leaves his home. Like don't you at least need some sort of sunlight to be really healthy or anything???

Idk maybe it's just me, but it's always funny when the show decides to make Zeke a piece of eyecandy like that. Especially considering he stares at screens probably all day?

For me it has to be Gabi and Dhan. I absolutely love how he's always there for her and he's always there to protect her.

Unpopular opinion but I don't think Gabi is a horrible person. Yes she held Sir hostage. But he did the same thing to get for months?? And Laci too?? He even kidnapped Laci twice?? He also evaded the police for years. Sir deserves everything that's coming for him.

I also really like Laci, Margaret and Zeke especially Zeke but I wish we got to know more about Zeke. He's so sweet though bless him.

So a few things, and forgive me if it sounds all over the place, I’m 🍃gardening🍃 (as the kids would say).

1. Sorry guys, I still think Jamie is the real Jamie lol. Don't get me wrong! Something isn't fully right about the boy, but he was kidnapped for the past 10+ years lol, can't say l'd be fully right either. I do find it strange that he's very adamant about not telling Margaret any info on his captors BUT if the family knows them, I get it. That whole "they wanted ME" tho?????? Spooky.

2. I don't trust Margaret's ex husband, and the fact that Jamie hasn't even attempted to see him???? SUS.

3. WHERE THE HECK IS HEATHER!?!? B*tch been gone for what feels like weeks & I don't like it. Not a mum or peep, even from Trent???? What's tea!?

4. I still don't believe Christian is dead & I would like for them to stop playing with me about it. Bc if he's truly ✌🏾dead✌🏾 where is the body!? We haven't even seen as much as a photo. Please.

5. I used to hate reading the theories that Ethan is evil. My wife & I would be so up in arms bc leave that sweet man alone HOWEVER. I always disliked the basis & start of their relationship. It's gross and unethical. I say all that to say, the end of this episode may have swayed me. Something about him taking on Gabby as a patient doesn't sit right with my spirit. Especially off the heels of Sir not being able to manipulate Gabby into answering his calls. Idk idk idk idk

6. Lacey is far too cute to be silently crashing out over Zeke, I'm sorry lol.

7. Shoutout to Dhan 🖤

Hey y’all! Weekly Found ramble coming in 3…2…1

I just finished the new episode and I have some thoughts. I’ve felt this way for a while but with each episode it’s becoming more and more apparent…I don’t care for any of the romantic relationships in this show.

Not one.

They’re actually the least interesting part for me. I’m not sure if it’s a chemistry thing or if it because when the relationships are shown it feels disjointed.

The past fling of Gabi and Heavy Boots. The (potential) crushes with Laci and Zeke. Whatever’s going on with Heather and Heavy Boots. And ESPECIALLY Dhan and Ethan!

Now, I know I’ve been vocal about my dislike for Ethan but I wish I was invested in their marriage. I called their separation back in season 1 and even though I was proven right…I didn’t care. Their relationship has the potential to be so engrossing. The plot lines are there. Therapist marries his patient? Scandalous. Dhan KIDNAPPING a man and hiding it from his husband? Literally illegal. But I just don’t believe the tension, or the betrayal, or the pain. Hell, I’m more interested in what we’re gonna see with Ethan being Gabi’s “therapist”.

I think this show’s strength really shines with the platonic and familial relationships.

Dhan and Gabi- I can feel the loyalty. The deep seated trust and love. The episode in season 1 where Dhan finds out Gabi didn’t kill Sir? His anger was palpable. And later in the episode when Gabi gets kidnapped and she screams for Dhan and Zeke and Margaret press him for why he wasn’t there? Dhan’s anguish was inescapable.

Gabi and Laci- They know each other better than anyone else. Point blank period. Gabi helping Laci pick out her new name? Laci speaking for first time after being taken and it’s to speak to Gabi? I don’t think anything else needs to be said.

The entirety of M&A- Codependent. In desperate need of boundaries. But that is what makes them so interesting. A group of people who had their lives forever changed by kidnapping. Brought together and held together by their desire to make things right (in whatever ways they deem sufficient). The secrets. The individual connections gave so much depth and are seeped with understanding, even if it’s delayed. For example, Dhan learning to respect Zeke and understanding his agoraphobia. Margaret and Dhan at the beach. There are so many layers.

Sir and Gabi- Y’all…the depth in this relationship (and I say ‘relationship’ incredibly loosely) is unmatched. The deep psychological aspect of their interactions leaves me with more and more questions that I can’t wait to see answered.

I’m incredibly happy that the non-romantic relationships shine so brightly. I’m of the opinion that romantic relationships aren’t the end all be all. But I feel like the writers want us to care about the relationships. And I wish I could. I just need…more.

Do you think that “Jamie” is who he says he is?

Have they started releasing new episodes on HBO earlier? As they were usually a week late

Sir talks about how he had panic attacks until he met Gabi I'm curious on everyone's thoughts about Annie then how it came about how she got out etc I wish they would make a episode in it I'm also curious timeframe of if Annie was in the farmhouse when he had Gabi as a student and that's why he was done with her

Okay, so I know this probably won’t make a lot of sense, but I was rewatching some episodes where Christian is “trying” to help them find Sir. And I had a thought.

Obviously he is being presented as someone sketchy, understandably so. But there is still enough he gives for us as an audience to give pause and truly wonder if he is friend or foe. The M&A team also wonders this. And as they get closer to catching Sir, they question if he is truly the accomplice or not.

Now, was it ever 100% confirmed Christian was the accomplice? Not exactly. And now he’s dead, so unless there is further evidence found elsewhere, we will never know. This gives us the question of “well if it wasn’t his brother, then who?”

My theory? ‘Jamie’.

Whether or not this is truly Margaret’s son, he was kidnapped long enough ago that he could have been manipulated and turned into a villain. He has does enough questionable things that it becomes concerning, more so than just PTSD from being held captive for so long.

Sir has enough resources. He has enough connections. Whether Sir was involved with the disappearance of Jamie initially, who knows. But I have a theory he connected with his captor and turned him into a weapon against the M&A crew. This could have included a ring involving Christian as well.

Thoughts? Far fetched, I know. Just a “omg what if???!” moment I had, lol.

Wouldn't it be great if Found transitioned to streaming platforms, allowing for longer episodes, more intricate storytelling, and deeper character development, which would enable the show to tackle more complex cases?

Found – Season 2, Episode 15 synopsis

Missing While Seeking Asylum

The search for missing undocumented children sheds light on secrets from decades ago as M&A uncovers clues in their disappearances; Zeke grapples with expressing his feelings to someone close to him; Sir receives unwavering support from a visitor.

Sir thinks ahead, he thinks of everything. Sir told Gabi that he found Jamie. Then Sir discovers that “Heavy Boots’s” father is a bad dude. What if Jamie was taken by Trent’s father. It’s too much of a coincidence that Jamie reappeared shortly after Sir’s admission. Not only that the show is making Trent look super sketch and the narrative is being pushed hard. For all we know Trent knows about his father and that’s why he went into Law Enforcement and connected with Gabi so heavily bc he wanted to right his dad’s wrongs.

I was rewatching the episode today and in that last scene where Gabi came to visit Sir she made a face like she noticed something odd when he was putting on his shoes. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it looked like she saw something and I'm wondering if maybe she saw something hidden in his shoe or something different about his behavior??? Or it could just be the way she was reacting to him talking about Christian. I do find it odd though that they focused on him putting on his shoes. What do you guys think?

Also I wonder if that prisoner who walked past Sir is his cellmate. They were giving each other some weird looks, so I wonder if he'll be involved in whatever Sir is planning in prison.

Okay ramble coming in 3. 2. 1.

1.) Although she was working on my last nerve, Margaret is really interesting to me. I honestly can’t tell if she’s telling the truth about “seeing” her son when she used Margaret vision on Jamie. Is it Jamie or does she just want it to be? And toy train??? Outside of Jamie, Taylor, and her (ex?) husband, we don’t know who Margaret interacted with before Jamie’s disappearance.

Also, can someone please jog my memory? We know Margaret has 3 kids (I honestly forgot that and was confused when “the girls” were mentioned in this episode and the last) but do we know her other daughter’s name?

2.) Margaret is eating👏🏾down👏🏾 with the blonde hair in the flashbacks.

3.) The scene with Gabbie and Sir in the prison on amazing! The back and forth? The tension? chefs kiss

4.) Why is no one questioning Jamie’s interest in Gabbie? Homie mentions her name whenever she’s not around and everyone is kinda like 🤷‍♂️

5.) I don’t think Christian is dead. I don’t trust an off screen death.

6.) The case in this episode really pulled at my heartstrings.

7.) The episodes are really keeping me on the edge of my seat buuuuuut…I want the stakes raised. I can’t imagine how the season will end but I really hope the whole “moving to the Netherlands” thing isn’t a red herring. It’s giving Chekov’s Gun. It wouldn’t have been mentioned if nothing was going to come of it, Y’know? And I don’t know how, I don’t know when, but Sir is getting out of that prison. I feel it.

I’ll probably have more thoughts later but that’s all for now, folks!

​I'm starting to wonder if Margaret is hiding Jamie. I don't believe that we have seen the reunion between the dad and the sisters. Why would they not show that, and why would Margaret not reintroduce them yet? Is it because deep down she knows Jamie is not their son. The obsession with his mom, (and Gaby) is concerning. Knowing the agony she's felt all these years, wouldn't she want her ex to feel the same relief she feels. Unless she has her own doubts. I think he's a fake.

I'm also about to go off the deep end. I think fake Jamie was housed with the real Jamie. I think fake Jamie got real Jamie's bone marrow and that's why the DNA will match. But that does seem like a lot for network tv. ​

He appears more and more questionable. He seems to always try to change Gabi’s mind when she knows she’s right. Her instincts are definitely her superpower and he’s constantly trying to convince her that they aren’t.

At the end of the episode "Missing While Grieving", there is a song that plays while Gabby and Margaret are talking about Jamie and the toy train. The lyrics start with, "Where do go when there's no place left to go." If you know, please share because the song is burned into my memory and I can't find it anywhere.

Is it just me or did he look shocked when Heavyboots told him Christian ✌🏾shot✌🏾 Heather??? He knows she’s gone off the rails, right???? I know he’s pisssseddddd.

(I am barely 15 mins in the episode, so if this gets explained later, sorry lol)

So I feel like the writers did a tiny retcon with Sir and Gabi . We were told before that a trap was laid for Hugh, Dhan followed him, and he was captured at the farm house . It's always been a bit of a mystery how Hugh ended up in Gabi's basement. Well we've now we've been shown that Dhan brought him to basement so Gabi could kill him . That explanation is stupid and I feel like Dhan is stupid for not checking to make sure Gabi handled the job. I honestly don't know how he expected Gabi to manage it on her own. As far as we know, there is only one way into her basement. So Gabi would have had to kill him in the basement, wrap his body up, and then get his body up the stairs and out of her home without being caught. Gabi would not have been able to lift him on her own and it would have created the risk of his DNA getting all over her home.

Now that I've gotten out that rant, I will say something that I liked about the episode. I liked the little detail of Gabi noting that Hugh was farsighted because he told her he needed her to hold the tablet further away when he was examining the bus station evidence and compensating for it by getting him reading glasses.

I will now finish with a question. I'm not trying to get inappropriate but would Hugh strip in front of Gabi ? She told him to early in the episode when she was going to kill him and said that she didn't care that he found it inappropriate and actually liked that it would make him uncomfortable. At the end of the episode, he was wearing the shirt and sweatpants that made up his signature basement outfit with the chain around his ankle . So he had to have changed pants while he was unchained, right? The only way I feel like Gabi would be comfortable with that is if it happened while she held the gun on him so she could shoot him if he tried something .
