In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast, co-host Mike DeAngelo dives into Apple TV+’s “Black Bird,” which stars Taron Egerton, Paul Walter-Hauser, Greg Kinnear, Ray Liotta, Sepideh Moafi and more. The series follows Jimmy Keene, an imprisoned midwestern drug dealer who agrees to enter a maximum-security prison to befriend a serial killer, Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser), and elicit a confession for the FBI, effectively ruining Larry’s chance for appeal.
Writer/Showrunner, Dennis LeHane (“Mystic River,” “Gone Baby Gone,” “The Wire,” “Boardwalk Empire”) stopped by the Bingeworthy podcast to discuss his long, illustrious career as a novelist, TV writer, and now showrunner for “Black Bird,” which he was drawn to for different reasons than some might think.
