Apple TV’s New Crime Show Wins Big Worldwide

The latest series on Apple TV, a remake of an old film, has quickly become one of the platform’s most popular shows. It is a crime drama that follows a former prisoner who hunts down the lawyers who defended him years earlier. The show’s first two episodes have already pushed it into the top spot on the streaming service in the United States. Internationally, the series is also a hit. In many countries—including Peru, Switzerland, France, Japan and Brazil—it holds the second highest viewership position on Apple TV. The show has climbed even higher in places such as Bahrain, Poland and Australia, where it sits in the top three.

The story is based on a novel that was turned into a famous 1991 movie starring Robert De Niro. The original book and its earlier film adaptation are well known, but the new series brings a fresh look for modern audiences. The cast includes Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson as the main couple, while Javier Bardem plays the dangerous ex‑prisoner. Critics have praised the show’s visual style and its ability to build tension. One reviewer noted that the ten‑episode arc allows for many twists, but also warned that some mysteries may pile up too quickly. Despite this, the series has earned a solid rating on review sites, with critics giving it around 75 percent and viewers about 76 percent. The series shows how reboots can succeed when they respect the original while adding new elements. It proves that classic stories can still resonate with people today, especially when they are told on a platform that reaches millions worldwide.
