“If you want to play for the big boys, you need to handle the wife.” New Zealand’s Three TV channel has debuted the official trailer for an entertaining novel crime comedy series titled Ms. X, starring Australian-American actress Melissa George in the lead role. It’s also getting a Disney+ release in the UK soon, along with regular streaming debuts in Australia and New Zealand already. Suburban mum Mia teams up with a friend from high school to scare her cheating husband into staying with Mia. She is pulled into something far more threatening: the criminal underworld, caught between the police, her everyday life and the cartel. Their initially amusing scheme spirals into murder, trapping her between law enforcement, drug lords, and ruthless PTA moms. Along with Melissa George as Mia, this also stars Simone Kessell, Dean O’Gorman, Jonno Roberts, Oscar Kightley, and Robbie Magasiva. Looks properly amusing and kinda thrilling, with tons of wacky characters. Including Oscar Kightley who I still remember from Next Goal Wins recently.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Three’s crime dramedy series Ms. X, direct from Binge’s YouTube:
