The Elusive Chase for Peace: Meet Joe Petrus
Ever fantasize about a perfect suburban life with a loving fiancée and adorable kids? Joe Petrus, played by Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, thought he’d bagged the American Dream. But like most dreams, this one comes with a catch. As the old saying goes, you can’t outrun your past, and Joe’s history is reeling him back at jet speed.
“As he builds a dream life in the American suburbs with his fiancée and children, Joe believes he has finally gotten everything he wants to live in peace. But that life is not something he earned with hard work.”
So, what’s the secret Joe is hiding? Let’s unravel it.
A Flashback to a Criminal Soiree in London
Before settling in the suburban U.S., Joe was a different man. Recruited by a high-profile British criminal, Dianne Harewood, Joe was part of an audacious robbery that promised riches beyond measure. A life-altering scheme that’s catching up with him.
“Years ago, Joe was recruited by a famous British criminal name Dianne Harewood to participate in a great robbery that would make him rich.”
Dianne is portrayed by the impeccable Gemma Arterton, who has flexed her acting muscles in blockbusters like “Quantum of Solace” and “Clash of the Titans.” But what’s even more interesting is the way their past is described by Hulu:
“Culprits kicks off where most crime stories end: after a high-stakes heist, when the crew of elite criminals have gone their separate ways and have tried to leave their old lives behind.”
Who Else is Onboard?
If you think Joe and Dianne are the only ones under the spotlight, you’re wrong. “Culprits” boasts a diverse ensemble. From Niamh Algar, who you might remember from “Raised by Wolves,” to Eddie Izzard of “Six Minutes to Midnight” fame, the show promises acting fireworks.
The Mastermind Behind the Lens
The series wouldn’t be complete without the genius of J Blakeson, who also gave us gems like “I Care a Lot” and “The 5th Wave.” His directorial prowess is sure to add layers of suspense and emotion to “Culprits.”
“Culprits was created by J Blakeson… Additionally, he directed all three episodes of the series Gunpowder, starring Game of Thrones alum Kit Harington.”
The Clock is Ticking, London is Calling
As his past starts to jeopardize all that he’s built, Joe must make the ultimate decision. Return to London, face his old gang, and try to make things right.
“To avoid losing everything he dreamed of, he must return to London and reunite with his old gang to put things back in order.”
Mark your calendars, folks! “Culprits” is all set to blow your mind on December 8th, exclusively on Hulu. The trailer’s out, the stakes are high, and Joe’s past and present are on a collision course. Don’t miss it!
