Prodigal Son season 2, episode 4, Take Your Father to Work Day.
The titular offspring on
Prodigal Son had plenty of time to bond with his serial killer father on this week s episode of the Fox procedural.
When a murder took place right under Martin The Surgeon Whitly s (Michael Sheen) nose, his son, Malcolm (Tom Payne), and the NYPD crew were brought in to help solve the crime and as you can imagine, Martin was just delighted at the prospect of quality time with his boy.
Of course, Ainsley (Halston Sage) wanted to tag along to see if there was a newsworthy story to uncover, but once she started remembering more about what happened the night of Endicott s (Dermot Mulroney) death, she turned to her father for answers about what was going on. To make the family reunion complete, Jessica (Bellamy Young) also found herself calling her murderous ex for some insight into their children s minds.

A selective critical checklist of notable Tuesday TV:
Prodigal Son (9/8c, Fox): In the wildest episode yet this season, Malcolm (Tom Payne) is drawn back to Claremont Psychiatric and his maniac father Martin (Michael Sheen) after an inmate’s murder. “C’mon, it’ll be fun!” exults Martin as he begs to be part of the crime-solving team. “Why can’t I be a peer?” he whines, while Malcolm works out his severe daddy issues in group therapy. Back on the Whitly home front, mother Jessica (Bellamy Young) is growing increasingly suspicious of her offspring’s involvement in the disappearance of the villainous Nicholas Endicott (Dermot Mulroney), and Malcolm’s sister Ainsley (Halston Sage) is beginning to have alarming flashbacks to that night. As Martin is the first to note, “Apples don’t fall that far from the tree.”

UPI News Service, 01/12/2021
Lou Diamond Phillips said his cop drama Prodigal Son may be out there in terms of its over-the-top storylines, but it still is rooted in contemporary New York, and will address the real-life police issues at the heart of recent social-justice movements.
ADVERTISEMENT We re going to meet the racial inequality and the profiling and that sort of systemic racism in the police force head on, the 58-year-old actor told UPI in a phone interview ahead of the show s Season 2 premiere Tuesday on Fox. I don t see how you cannot. It has been such a hot-button topic this past year, he added. I think we have as a few other shows do a very authentic perspective in the respect that my team, we are all people of color and, even beyond that, we are all mixed heritage.
