Omid Djalili Launches Production Outfit
British actor-comedian Omid Djalili has launched a TV, film and podcast production company. The star of The Infidel is forging Tiny Speck Productions with Infidel producer Shahin Sobhani and his “family of creatives” including producers Ara Devine, Isabella Djalili-Devine, and Louis Djalili. The company already has a scripted campus comedy series, a climate-related feature film, podcasts, and a feature documentary in development, it said. “My family and I have been working together for years, and we thought it would make sense to formalise it,” said Djalili. “I’ve always believed that when we are laughing our brains work better – we see things more clearly and feel better able to handle life’s difficult questions. It’s something we need in the world, now more than ever.” Djalili is a well-known British comedian who is a regular on the stand-up circuit and has also starred in the likes of Gladiator,...

It's a fight to stay alive, now.
On Kin Season 1 Episode 7, the Kinsellas weigh their options for survival, potentially fracturing.
Amanda is determined to get what she wants at any price.
I'm your solicitor, not your therapist.

Sam Keeley is an absolute beast throughout this entire episode. At last, we get the opportunity to see his remarkable range as he encompasses all the different sides of Eric.
His scene in the cell is a brilliant metaphor for the whole family's situation.
Eric is in a small room, with violent death threats coming at him from all sides -- but he can't see where they are coming from. He can only rage, pound the walls, and fight back. He doesn't know if his cries will do any good, but he knows he can't just sit there and take it.

It's not looking good for the Kinsellas.
On Kin Season 1 Episode 4, it seems like they are being caught out at every turn.
Eamon Cunningham has them cornered, but they can't back down -- all they can do is fight back.
The walls are closing in. The shots are getting closer up. Michael even gets put in a coffin-like Mri machine -- this had better not be foreshadowing!
Amanda: Jesus Christ, Jimmy. Can we just have a break from all this for one night?
Jimmy: That's the thing. There is no fucking break from this. This is it until it's over.
Permalink: There is no fucking break from this. Added: September 28, 2021
Amanda seems more out of sorts than normal. Mind you; she's just had to say goodbye to her other son, Anthony.
Amanda's scene with Michael felt out-of-character and off-putting. It wasn't clear what she was trying to do or convey exactly.

There's only so much a mother can take.
Amanda is put through the emotional wringer on Kin Season 1 Episode 2, a study in parental grief.
The Kinsellas are now setting themselves on a dangerous path that can only lead to more tragedy.
Episode 2 shows us the strengths and weaknesses in Jimmy and Amanda's relationship.
Jimmy's bravado has been scraped away. He's crumbling but still trying to respond to Jamie's death the only way he knows how -- with violence.
Emmett J. Scanlan is beautifully raw as Jimmy. You've never seen a thug so tender. He's clearly distraught. Everyone keeps saying he needs to look after Amanda, but he can barely hold back the emotions that come spilling out of him.
He adored his son, and he loves Amanda desperately enough that he'd follow her behest above all others.
It's apparent that Jimmy is insecure in his relationship with Amanda.

Irish gang drama Kin, premiering September 9 on AMC+, unveiled a deadly first trailer and key art for the series today.
The clip zeroes in on a devastating war that has begun by a murder in a family where loyalty is paramount.
Starring Charlie Cox, Clare Dunne (Herself), Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones), and Ciarán Hinds, Kin charts the lives of the Kinsellas, a small but tight-knit crime family embroiled in a war against a powerful drug kingpin, Eamon Cunningham (Hinds).
A boy is killed and his family embark on a gangland war with an international cartel – a war that is impossible to win.
It’s David and Goliath. Out-numbered, out-financed and out-gunned, the Kinsellas find themselves holed up in their Dublin stronghold while their businesses fail, and family members and associates are picked off.
But they have something the cartel does not: the unbreakable bonds of blood and family.
