Get Millie Black is a five-episode crime thriller series following ex-Scotland Yard detective Millie Black as she hunts a missing boy in her Jamaican hometown. While unraveling the mystery, Millie confronts family demons and seeks reconciliation with her sister.
Produced for HBO and Channel 4 by Motive Pictures, the five-episode crime thriller Get Millie Black follows ex-Scotland Yard detective Millie-Jean Black (Tamara Lawrance) on a manhunt in her hometown of Kingston , Jamaica to find a young boy and get him back to his parents. While unraveling a tangled mystery, Millie is also fighting family demons, wanting to reconcile with a sister who wants no part of the past.
We learn about who Millie is, in her past and present, by hearing about her from the point of view of her sister Hibiscus (Chyna McQueen), Holborn (Joe Dempsie), Janet (Shernet Swearine) and Curtis (Gershwyn Eustache Jr), giving insight beyond what we could know just through her eyes and self-imposed emotional walls. Get Millie Black is a TV series inspired both by creator Marlon James’ birthplace of Jamaica as well as his police detective mother. It’s a story about Kingston as much as it’s about Millie Black, who is a good cop, a flawed woman, a supportive sister, and someone who wants to do the right thing, even when it brings consequence for herself. During this one-on-one interview with Collider, James talked about the five-episode season, why the story resolved the way it did, and the hope of doing another season. He also discussed how surprising the mystery was to him as he wrote it, how Millie is a character you can love even if you don’t like her, how surreal it was to see Lawrance bring this character to life, the dynamic between Millie and Hibiscus and the jaw-dropping performance by McQueen, the experience of making a TV series, and what he’d like to do with a Season 2. Collider: I love a good cop drama where the mystery unravels over the season. And with this, I found the setting equally interesting. MARLON JAMES: Even though it’s a cop show, and it’s a cop show with a lot of the tropes of a cop show, it feels like a story that could only have happened ther
