If you’re looking for something new to watch this weekend, Apple TV has a crime thriller with a pretty interesting concept.
And two familiar faces.
Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan star in “12 12 12,” a new eight-episode series premiering globally on November 13.
But instead of telling one heist story from beginning to end, the show plays with three different timelines.
Twelve months of preparation.
Twelve hours of the robbery itself.
And twelve days dealing with everything that happens afterward.
The story follows a disgraced FBI agent, played by Mackie, and an American career criminal, played by Dornan, as they become caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse across Europe.
At the center of the story is an ambitious robbery targeting a bank vault deep beneath Zurich.
And the way the show is structured makes things even more interesting.
Rather than showing the entire plan before revealing how it unfolds, the series moves between different stages of the crime.
That means viewers are constantly discovering new information about the characters, their decisions and the consequences of the heist.
Mackie is widely known for playing Sam Wilson in Marvel’s Captain America franchise, while Dornan is familiar to audiences from Fifty Shades of Grey and The Fall.
Both actors also serve as executive producers.
The first two episodes arrive today, with a new episode scheduled every Friday through December 25.
For fans of crime dramas, complicated plans and characters who probably shouldn’t trust each other, this could be an interesting addition to the weekend watchlist.
And honestly, a heist series told across three timelines sounds like the kind of show where you shouldn’t check your phone for five minutes.
You might miss something important.
