When an attempt to kidnap the son of a high-profile corporate lawyer goes awry, the subsequent investigation uncovers much more than anyone bargained for or suspected. That’s the premise of the new six-part thriller Full Circle, which is streaming exclusively in Australia on BINGE from July 13.
It looks like they got the A-Team together for this one: director Steven Soderberg (Ocean’s 11) is calling the shots, writer Ed Solomon (Men in Black, the Bill and Ted franchise) is on scripting duties, and stars Claire Danes, Zazie Beetz, Jharrell Jerome, Timothy Olyphant, Jim Gaffigan, CCH Pounder, Phaldut Sharma, Adia, Sheyi Cole, Gerald Jones, Suzanne Savoy, Ethan Stoddard, Lucian Zanes and Dennis Quaid fill out the impressive ensemble.
Danes is front and centre as Sam, the lawyer at the top of the corporate law heap in the series’ New York City setting, while Beetz, best known for Atlanta and her appearances in Deadpool 2 and Joker, is US Postal Investigation Service agent Harmony, a lead investigator in the case. Quaid is on board as Danes’ father, Olyphant is her husband, while Gaffigan is Manny, Harmony’s supervisor at the USPIS. As for the rest of the roles? It’s anyone’s guess, the mystery’s plot details being understandably kept quiet.
This isn’t the first time Solomon and Soderberg have worked together, though, the Sex, Lies, and Videotape director and Men in Black scribe having previously given us the excellent noir No Sudden Move and the experimental series/interactive app Mosaic. Keeping in mind Soderberg’s love of formal experimentation, it’s hard to predict exactly how Full Circle will play out, but it’s always worth trying to expect the unexpected.
Full Circle’s first two episodes will premiere together, with the subsequent four episodes dropping weekly. If you’re in the mood for a slick, cerebral, twisty mystery packed with top-notch acting talent, be sure to square this circle.
