Amazon Prime Video’s latest twisty thriller will intrigue viewers – and have them scratching their heads, according to star Peter Serafinowicz. “I don’t know how to explain the show. It’s pretty nuts!” exclaims Peter, who plays Detective Chief Inspector Danny in the series.
“It’s a whodunnit, but also feels quite film noir.
The script is one of the most bonkers I’ve ever read.
There’s some really shocking things that happen, but the whole world is heightened – it’s a bit like The Maltese Falcon.” The show is set in Liverpool and focuses on best friends Elliot (Bilal Hasna) and Jess (Vivian Oparah), who have spiralled into a hedonistic lifestyle after Peter – Jess’s twin brother and Elliot’s fiancé – went missing five years ago.
They party to numb their grief while clinging to the hope that they will one day discover the truth about Peter’s disappearance, which detective Danny sets about investigating. The six-part series was created by Charlotte Coben, daughter of Harlan Coben, the novelist who wrote bestsellers Fool Me Once, Stay Close, and The Stranger – all of which have been adapted into Netflix shows. “I love that Charlotte set the series in Liverpool,” says Peter.
“She’s from New York, and it’s cool to see that American perspective. “I have spoken to Harlan before by email. It was a while ago and he got in touch when I was doing these sassy Donald Trump videos.
It was out of the blue and I was so thrilled. It was lovely to work with his daughter, she’s so talented.” Another reason Peter took the role was to go back to his roots. “It was nice being a character from Liverpool because that’s where I’m from and I like hearing the accent on TV,” he says.

Was this the event of my life?’ And then a great determination to achieve exit velocity from it so I could attempt to do more.” That “more” is now coming into focus.
