Yellowjackets S2 (March 24)

Rain Dogs (March 8)


A dark comedy from the brilliant new voice of Cash Carraway, Rain Dogs chronicles the life of Costello Jones, a devoted mother who wants more for her precocious young daughter, Iris. As she hustles to survive, Costello leans on Selby, Iris's pseudo father (and Costello's pseudo soulmate), and Gloria, the duo's loyal yet chaotic godmother/best friend together forming a makeshift swaggerous family bound by a complex but deep-rooted love and defiance towards a system built against them.

A Town Called Malice (March 26)


If Dallas made love to Pulp Fiction to the sounds of Duran Duran, they'd give birth to A Town Called Malice. This intoxicating cocktail of crime thriller and family saga in the early '80s follows the Lords - a family of former South London gangsters who've fallen to the bottom of the criminal food chain and they're not happy about it. When they flee to the Costa del Sol in Spain following a gangland battle, the Lords realise this is a golden opportunity to re- invent themselves and re-capture their former glory. However, they spend as much time battling each other as they do their opponents. This high-octane thriller is a musical love letter to the '80s - filled with romance, obsession, violence, deceit and swagger. Welcome to the Costa del Crime!
