some crime fun
30 November 2023
David Marking (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) is opening a bistro in a dilapidated neighborhood under fake identity Joe Petrus. He lives the suburban life with his gay partner Jules Burner and his two kids. A car accident pits him against powerful ruthless politician Kyle Bedrosian. Before this, he was a gun-slinging bodyguard in London and recruited by Dianne Harewood (Gemma Arterton) for a risky big heist. She's the Brain. He's the Muscle. There are the Specialist (Niamh Algar), the Officer (Kirby), safecracker Azar Mizouni (Tara Abboud), and others in the crew. After the chaotic heist, someone is coming after them one by one.

It's a fun little crime thriller limited series. I really like the lead Nathan Stewart-Jarrett. I liked him in Misfits and Utopia. He has a really nice quality about him. I expected more with the Bedrosian story. Quite frankly, that could be a whole season by itself which could lead back to the heist for a second season. As it stands, I don't see a second season. I am assuming that this is a limited series. They wrap up the whole plot with a nice tight bow.
