TV Show Review: Without a Trace Season Two

The second season of Without a Trace aired in 2003 and concluded in 2004. This season like the last focused a lot on Jack Malone played by Anthony LaPaglia, but it did a decent job of trying to explore the other characters. With Jack, we got some good story progression with an exploration of his relationship with his father and the struggles he deals with in his marriage. This season there were a couple episodes that gave Danny Taylor (Enrique Murciano) and Vivian Johnson (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) the spotlight. We didn’t get that much with Samantha Spade (Poppy Montgomery), which was unfortunate, but Martin Fitzgerald (Eric Close) had some interesting stories that I hope they continue to explore next season.

Every episode dealt with the team racing against the clock to find the missing person of the week, along the way you get to know each member of the squad better. The squad consists of Jack Malone played by Anthony LaPaglia, Samantha Spade played by Poppy Montgomery, Vivian Johnson played by Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Danny Taylor played by Enrique Murciano, and Martin Fitzgerald played by Eric Close.
