SUN IS OUT, GUNS ARE OUT

Malice is back in town this month

Your trusted spy is presenting you two new television series coming to the small screens in the month of March which has just hit our calendars as of this morning believe it or not! First up, we have A TOWN CALLED MALICE which should hit Sky channels around Europe from March 16th! Pitched as a blend of Dallas and Pulp Fiction to the sounds of Duran Duran, this neon-soaked, 80s-set cocktail of crime thriller stars Martha Plimpton as Mint Ma and Jason Flemyng as Albert Lord, our dear boy Lex Shrapnel as Leonard Lord with Eliza Butterworth as Carly Lord and Jack Rowan as Gene Lord alongside Tahirah Sharif in the role of Cindy Carter! Daniel Sharman and Dougray Scott are also in the cast.

A TOWN CALLED MALICE

 set amongst the beach clubs and palm trees of the Costa del Sol in the early 80s,  follows the Lords, a crime family of petty thieves from South London, as they decamp from London to Spain to profit from an unexpected windfall – and to escape the attention of the police in a high-profile murder enquiry. But while they hope to recapture their former glory, they spend as much time battling each other as they do their opponents.

Medici: The Magnificent was definitely a far cry from the marvellous first season Medici: Masters of Florence, having none of its great cast and masterful storytelling, as its lead star Daniel Sharman showed a rather shocking lack of acting chops, charisma and any kind of expression or even screen presence, and given that Italian National Broadcaster has decided to air all episodes of the final third season MEDICI THE MAGNIFICENT: FINAL SEASON aka The Beauty and the Power (titled in Italy Medici: Nel Nome della famiglia) in just two weeks to be quicker done
