Scout Tafoya is a film and TV critic, director and creator of the long-running video essay series The Unloved for. You can watch all six episodes of Black Bird on Apple TV+. Egerton becomes a good actor, and the whole thing just works. But, much like the character Jimmy Keene learning how to be a better person and proving himself useful, this show buckles down. I had many reservations about Black Bird when it started.
It’s so heartbreaking and we know he killed dozens of young women. “Not you, Gary,” Larry says when his brother at long last turns on him.
However, his teary-eyed confrontation with his brother just twists your heart. His confession stands as a great feat of acting. This is the performance I was hoping he had in him, the performance that’s going to make me actually interested in what Egerton chooses to be in next.īut again, it’s Hauser who walks off with the show with his portrayal of Larry. Photo: Apple TV+įirst of all, in this home stretch, Egerton gives his best performance as Jimmy. Strong acting powers a heartbreaking finale Paul Walter Hauser delivers a stunning performance in the series finale. It is a testament to the talent, on and off screen, that this final hour of Black Bird is as amazing as it is.
Keene even has a cameo on the show - it’s not like he got killed in prison. I was fully in the drama, dying to see how it ended and whether any of Jimmy’s testimony would make it to trial - and I already knew how it ended! The show is based on Jimmy Keene’s memoir, In With the Devil: A Fallen Hero, a Serial Killer, and a Dangerous Bargain for Redemption. This section of Black Bird proved riveting and affecting. This crucial info exonerates Jimmy - and condemns Larry to a life sentence.
However, he does manage to get them some details about the murders that Larry confessed to committing - and that only Larry and the coroner would know. When Jimmy gets out of the hole, draws the map for McCauley and Miller, but it doesn’t mean much because it’s too vague.
