As viewers make their way into the still fresh 2024 TV schedule, a lot of different titles are going to be competing for their attention. Apple TV+ subscribers certainly know this, as the recent premiere of the crime drama Criminal Record has only highlighted this fact further. With executive producers Paul Rutman and Elaine Collins celebrating this launch, they recently revealed that the movies of legendary director Michael Mann offered a specific influence to the Cush Jumbo and Peter Capaldi-starring series.
Namely, as Ms. Collins would put it, the “machismo” of Mann’s filmography was the factor they wanted to twist within the familiar formula seen in the director’s movies. As Mr. Rutman would name the three movies in particular he saw as inspirations for Criminal Record, the remarks you’re about to read are all the more fitting.
