The plot tells of how an armed robbery takes place on the bus line connecting the airport with various cities in the vicinity of Barcelona. The upshot is that three assailants are dead and one person has an arrest warrant on his head, with six witnesses unable to identify the fugitive. Officer Fran Garza (played by Pablo Molinero) and his professional partner – and ex – Rebeca Quirós (Ana Polvorosa) suspect that the witnesses are not telling the truth: they all claim not to have seen the killer’s face, but everything points to them having made a pact of silence to protect the person on the run. Soon enough, the case goes viral, and public opinion swings in support of the criminal, using the hashtag #YouWouldDoTheSame.
Based on the Edgar Award-winning, nine-book “Karl Alberg” series by the late Canadian author L.R. Wright, Murder in a Small Town follows Karl Alberg (Sutherland), who moves to a quiet coastal town to soothe a psyche that has been battered by big-city police work. But this gentle paradise has more than its share of secrets, and Karl will need to call upon all the skills that made him a world-class detective in solving the murders that, even in this seemingly idyllic setting, continue to wash up on his shore. Kreuk stars as Cassandra, a local librarian who becomes Alberg’s muse, foil and romantic interest.
A group of teenage girls and boys in the city of Latina, just south of Rome, and its surrounding area during a summer that will change their lives forever.
Ryan Murphy dropped a teaser for a new series titled Grotesquerie in an Instagram post (see it below) on Friday. According to the post, it will star Niecy Nash-Betts — who has worked with Murphy several times before and is coming off an Emmy win for Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story — Courtney B. Vance and Lesley Manville and is set to premiere in the fall.
The teaser features Nash-Betts’ voice, sounding very disturbed about a crime scene: “I don’t know when it started. I can’t put my finger on it. But it’s different now. There’s been a shift. It’s like something’s opening up in the world — a kind of hole to the center of nothingness. What I saw today — they sent shrinks for everyone who worked this crime scene. You think, ‘Well hon, evil has always existed,’ and cite some statistic about how the world’s getting better, less murder, more help, less global horror, never been a better time to be alive, honey.”
Her voice cracking, Nash-Betts (or rather, her character) concludes by saying, “Come back. It’s not getting better. And I keep needing to hear your answers, because something’s happening around us, and nobody sees but me.”
