Tim Roth fans will want to catch up on his twisty British crime drama “crackling with tension”

As a game enthusiast with a soft spot for Tim Roth’s acting, I’d be thrilled to share that you can immerse yourself in the gripping world of his critically acclaimed crime drama, “Tin Star”. This captivating series is readily available for binge-watching on Sky and NOW streaming platforms. Enjoy the ride!

In 2017, I found myself immersed in an intriguing game series that dropped me into the boots of Jim Worth, ex-detective from the bustling streets of Liverpool, now transplanted to the tranquil yet mysterious Little Big Bear nestled amidst the majestic Canadian Rockies.

Following their move, Jim endeavors to chart a fresh course, leaving behind his troubled past and the violent persona of Jack Devlin, who resurfaces under the influence of alcohol. Yet, when misfortune befalls the town and a surge of organized crime takes hold, Jim is compelled to undertake a perilous investigation with potentially lethal outcomes.

Presently, season one has garnered a rating of 57% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Irish Independent has commended Roth’s exceptional acting performance, while the Daily Telegraph has noted that this noirish thriller is both cinematically well-executed and features a soundtrack that adds an intriguing twang to it.

As I delved into season two, I found myself hooked by the nail-biting suspense and unexpected turns that left me on the edge of my seat. To put it simply, those six episodes were an absolute treat to watch, according to The Post NZ.

The Financial Times commented that it was an enjoyable experience, further mentioning that the picturesque Alberta, covered in snow, serves as a stunning setting for all the dramatic events unfolding.

Season three, which premiered in 2020, has yet to receive an official score on the platform.

As I reached the final moments of Tin Star, I couldn’t help but feel a profound sense of emotion welling up inside me, just like creator Roth shared after the series ended.

On the Sky News Backstage podcast, he candidly shared his feelings, saying, “I felt a sense of melancholy, I have to confess, as it signified the conclusion of something significant in my life and also the winding down of certain relationships or that specific period of them.

I felt quite unfortunate when it came to an end, let me tell you. It really affected me. However, I knew from the start that it would consist of three series.

All three seasons of Tin Star are available to watch exclusively on Sky and NOW.

The latest print issue from Digital Spy is available! You can purchase ‘Oasis – Live in ’25’ from newsstands or online for only £8.99.
