AnimeMania October 1 Share October 1 Get Millie Black is a 5 episode Drama TV Series airing on November 25, 2024 on HBO at 9pm. Millie-Jean Black is a police detective that was forced to quit Scotland Yard and return back to where she was born in Kingston, Jamaica after a climate activist is left for dead in a hit-and-run and utters the name of police detective Millie-Jean Black with his dying breath. Millie joins the Jamaican police force, working on missing persons cases, including trying to find a boy who can’t be found, while trying to save her sister who refuses to be saved. Millie's cases start on the steaming streets of downtown Kingston and work their way up to the hill plantations of the post-colonial elite, before exploding onto the international stage, propelling Millie back to the UK, where pretty soon everyone is out to get Millie Black. Get Millie Black explores the troubled legacy of racism, slavery, sexuality, classism and cycles of trauma in the post-colonial landscape of Britain and Jamaica. Tamara Lawrance as Millie-Jean Black, a brilliant, mercurial, hilarious, unpredictable force of nature is a police detective forced to quit Scotland Yard and return to the country of her birth, Jamaica, to work missing persons cases for the JPF (Jamaican Police Force), Millie is a woman caught between worlds and conflicting versions of herself. Gershwyn Eustache Jnr as Curtis, a gay cop who is forced to keep his love life secret from his colleagues, as Millie Black's partner, Curtis can go only so far in his own police force; but he's about to have his whole life shattered. Joe Dempsie as Luke Holborn, game-playing Scotland Yard detective who shows up in Kingston on the trail of a major investigation that's set on a collision course with Millie's. Bringing all the baggage of Scotland Yard with him, Holborn's presence on Millie's home turf is destined to be triggering in all sorts of ways. Chyna McQueen as Hibiscus, a 'gully queen' (a group of gay and transgender people who live openly in a country that often wants them dead. This is a a reference to the storm drainage systems in which many homeless LGBT Jamaicans live). Hibiscus is Millie's sister and one of the Sunlight Ladies, a band of Queer outcasts living hand-to-mouth yet exuberantly in the gullies that run throughout Kingston. Hibiscus is the sister Millie never bargained for. Millie is the sister Hibiscus never knew she needed.
