“Adrenaline-charged” 6-part crime series with Breaking Bad star is leaving Netflix UK soon

by

If you’re a fan of Giancarlo Esposito – best known for playing the villain Gus Fring in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul – don’t miss his new thriller Parish on Netflix UK. The six-episode drama features Esposito as a father driven by revenge after a family tragedy. It won’t be available forever, so catch it while you can!

The new series, which premiered on AMC in 2024, is based on a British show of the same name created by Danny Brocklehurst. The original starred David Morrissey, known from The Walking Dead. This American version features Giancarlo Esposito as Gracián ‘Gray’ Parish, a man with a complicated history.

Gray used to be a criminal, but he turned his life around and started a limousine business. When his son is tragically killed and his business fails, he’s forced back into the criminal world, putting him on a dangerous path toward a showdown with a ruthless crime organization.

You can currently watch the series on Netflix in the UK, but it won’t be available for much longer. It’s listed as ‘leaving soon,’ so you might want to watch all the episodes now before it’s gone.

The thriller series, called Parish, has been called “adrenaline-charged” by audiences, who gave it a 73% rating. However, critics weren’t as impressed, giving it a low score of 36%. Reviews from publications like Variety and Times-Picayune described the show as disjointed and lacking a clear purpose, and a generally uninspired rehash of familiar themes.

What to Read Next

The show’s strongest points are its visuals and lead actor, John Esposito, though even Salon.com notes that his talent deserves better writing than the show often provides.

The film Parish suffers from a weak plot and especially poor dialogue, which stands out even more because the directing and visuals are surprisingly polished – a contrast reminiscent of the luxurious cars the main character uses while trying to change his life.

Esposito will be acting alongside Skeet Ulrich, known for his role in Scream, and Amanda Brugel, who appears in The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments. The cast also includes Zackary Momoh and Paula Malcomson.

Parish is streaming on Netflix UK.
