Don’t miss the brilliant trailer for Bob Odenkirk’s “memorable” crime thriller

by

A new trailer has been released for Bob Odenkirk’s upcoming crime thriller, Normal. The show centers around a quiet sheriff (Odenkirk) who relocates to a peaceful small town hoping to leave his difficult history behind.

The story introduces Sheriff Ulysses, who is sent to the small, peaceful town of Normal as a temporary assignment. This move is intended to give him a break from problems in his marriage and the emotional trauma he experienced while working as a law enforcement officer.

When a failed bank robbery disrupts the peaceful life of the town, a hidden secret comes to light. Ulysses quickly realizes that the town isn’t what it seems.

The YouTube trailer offers a cheerful glimpse of the town, showing friendly people and highlighting its appeal.

Ulysses explains that you’re always likely to run into familiar faces around town – like the mayor, a deputy sheriff, your mail carrier, and the owners of local shops and restaurants. He adds with a smile, ‘And don’t forget our town moose!’

He described life in Normal as calm, peaceful, and routine. But then he added that things don’t always stay that way.

Just as he’s about to open the door, bullets shatter the glass, and a chaotic fight breaks out. The sheriff is attacked with a large knife, but he manages to fight back and disarm his attacker using a mallet.

The trailer then delivers a barrage of action – car explosions, a shocking beheading, and a massive gunfight – hinting at a fast-paced, twist-filled thriller.

The movie Normal will be released in the US in April 2026. A release date for the UK hasn’t been announced yet. So far, it has an 83% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 23 reviews, and The Film Stage described it as a “memorable ride.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bob Odenkirk skillfully navigates the film’s drastically different tones, perfectly embodying the role, and is complemented by a vibrant supporting cast.

I read a review that really nailed it – Derek Kolstad wrote a script full of action, but it took a director like Ben Wheatley to make it all so incredibly over-the-top and fun to watch. It’s like Kolstad provided the ingredients, and Wheatley is the chef who created a masterpiece!

As a total TV fan, I’m so excited about the Good Housekeeping Christmas TV Guide! It’s got listings for a full 14 days of Christmas shows, so I can plan all my festive viewing. And at only £4.75, it’s a steal! I’ve already seen it at Morrisons and TG Jones, and I’m sure most magazine shops will have it too.
