Tin Star, the binge-worthy series starring Tim Roth has been a worldwide success, with his character negotiating his way around revenge in a corrupt small-town life in the Canadian Rockies. In the third episode of Hit Stories, which offers a peek behind the curtain of some of TV’s biggest shows, journalist John Plunkett looks behind the mastery of writer Rowan Joffé’s work.
As season two comes to a dramatic close, Plunkett chats with Joffé, and executive producer Alison Jackson about juxtaposing the difficult issues of alcoholism and violence with the power of dark humor, the challenges of shooting in their Canadian location, and why the show’s primary goal is to entertain.
With an explosive opening scene that draws us all into our protagonist Jack’s revenge vendetta, Tin Star takes us on a conflicting journey to get to the bottom of a mystery death, with Jack’s “Jekyll and Hyde” character paving the way.
