More than a year after its release on Apple TV+, Black Bird is a true crime miniseries that is definitely worth a watch — or a rewatch.
Last year, AppleTV+ delivered a terrific six-episode psychological crime drama miniseries called Black Bird. It stars Taron Egerton in the lead role of Jimmy Keene. We have seen him most recently in another AppleTV+ movie, Tetris, just a few months ago.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT What is 'Black Bird' About? Jimmy Keene is a mid-level drug dealer making good money selling cocaine in the suburbs of Chicago. But when he gets busted by the FBI and DEA for possession with intent to sell along with a cache of illegal firearms, he is sentenced to a 10-year sentence in an Illinois penitentiary. He's a good-looking charmer, and has an easy time of it among the general population in prison.
A Complex Relationship Begins to Evolve Between Jimmy and Larry Jimmy is placed in the cell adjacent to Larry by the warden, so he can begin his mission of befriending Hall and exorcising the monster within the cold-blooded killer. Initially, things take a bit longer than Jimmy expects. He is a charismatic smooth talker who typically can navigate relationships with ease — that's why he's been specifically hand-picked for the job.
Getting to the Root of the Evil in Larry Larry grew up as a gravedigger living in a cemetery as a twin to a much larger and better-looking brother. He was abused as a child by his father and that has left an indelible level of twisted psychosis in him despite his relatively calm exterior.
