After the pilot episode of ‘Survivor’s Remorse’ takes Cam Calloway and his manager Reggie Vaughn back through their neighborhood and through past experiences, episode two of the show is very much about the world and responsibilities that Cam and his family will have to inhabit.
What would have been an innocuous comment from his mom at a charity event immediately becomes a huge story and in the past, it wouldn’t have been one. It’s in this episode that Cam and his family realize the new space that they have inherited as people with platforms whose words have consequences beyond their immediate world.
In addition to the fact that we see Cam and his family deal with real-life consequences to their actions, we see an idealistic look at owner/player relations and we also see how difficult it can be for people to adjust to the new context of their lives. Erik and Sean also discuss the timeliness of the episode which was aired near the time Adrian Peterson was charged for child endangerment.
