A fugitive epic with big-budget credentials
DRAMA APPLE TV+
Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam leads this epic 12-part retelling (three episodes are released today) of Gregory David Roberts’ 2003 global-hit novel. Loosely inspired by Roberts’ life, the story follows convicted armed robber Lin Ford (Hunnam) as he escapes an Australian prison and flees to Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1982. Despite attempts to lose himself in the city’s bustling streets, Lin’s dalliances with mafia boss Khader Khan (Alexander Siddig) and the enigmatic Karla (Antonia Desplat) lead to danger, betrayal and murder. Look out for
The Musketeers’ Luke Pasqualino as criminal Maurizio, plus A Suitable Boy’s Shubham Saraf as Lin’s guide and friend, Prabhu. RM
