Two weeks ago, Good Werks released its second episode, The Tempist. Throughout the show, viewers followed community service workers Michelle, Rip, Howard, Cerri, Clay, and Gerald. This time, they all wrestled with their community service obligations being put on hold, due to an unexpected tornado. Clay and Rip also got to bond with one another, despite their generational differences, after being accidentally locked in a closet together. As seen this week in Good Werks: Dishonorable Service, the show not only continues with these characters, but also introduces a new one: Army Sgt. Taj Varma, played by actor Vinn Sander.

Dishonorable Service

This go-around, the Good Werks gang's community service duties involve preparing care packages for military troops and veterans. In charge of overseeing this task is not community service leader Rip, but the impressive Sgt. Taj Varma. While the gang works on readying care packages, viewers also get more of a backstory into Gerald (portrayed by Chas Laughlin). It turns out that Taj and Gerald don't have the best history, with the latter having been involuntarily discharged from the Army. On the flip side, though, Clay makes a very positive impression on Taj. The Army Sergeant even lets Clay know he'd be a great fit for the military. Later on, this pushes Gerald to warn Taj about crossing the line with Clay. The dynamic between Gerald, Taj, and Clay leaves much room for discovery and development. It also begs to question if Taj will have a more active role with the Good Werks gang moving forward. Before the episode ends, Cerri and Rachel have their own interesting bonding moments in somewhat of a parallel to Clay and Rip in The Tempist.

Stay tuned for more

Viewers will have to keep watching Good Werks to find out where community service duties take all the characters. The backstories of Clay, Cerri, Taj, and even Rip (to some extent) likewise have yet to be fully fleshed out. Dishonorable Service gets an easy five stars. The episode masterfully balances the continuation of current storylines, whilst introducing a cool new character and fleshing out already-established ones. Viewers can stream Good Werks episodes on the Good Werks Production YouTube channel.
