What We're Watching

HBO (Or HBO Max? Or Max? Or Home Box Office? Who knows anymore) brings us this hard-bitten series starring Mark Ruffalo as a Philadelphia-based FBI agent heading up a task force to end a string of violent robberies undertaken by an unassuming family man played by Tom Pelphrey.

Helmed by Mare of Easttown creator Brad Ingelsby, viewers are already drawing parallels between the two shows, both exploring similar themes of grief, generational trauma, guilt, and familial responsibility through the lens of the detective.

All of them have flaws. That’s why I love them.
Failed every time. It’s the murders’ fault.

NORTH SHORE - SEASON ONE

A fish-out-of-water muddle of a murder-mystery. I had hoped the characters would develop but they remained 2D and unlikable. A guessed who did it but seems they read Wikipedia to theorise the concept of murder. Avoid.

UNTAMED - SEASON ONE

While it’s made with care and staffed with capable performances, the take on crime and punishment in this limited series too often feels like the same 10 per cent of the crime genre we’ve seen before.
