HBO’s Gritty and Explosive Whodunit ‘Get Millie Black’ Unveils a Different Side of Jamaica: TV Review


Set in Kingston, HBO's 'Get Millie Black' is a distinct and engrossing whodunit with an outstanding twist at the center.

Created by Booker Prize-winning novelist Marlon James, who adapted the show from his own short story, “Get Millie Black,” begins as a missing persons case and evolves into a massive web of corruption and violence stretching beyond the shores of Jamaica onto the streets of London. It’s a massive and complex criminal web that gets the attention of Scotland Yard rising star Superintendent Luke Holborn (Joe Dempsie), who comes to Kingston to aid the investigation. James, who based Millie on his mother, Detective Inspector Shirley Dillon-James, presents a deeply engaging world of characters driven by their unbridled impulses and haunted by ghosts they can’t exorcise.
