Cinemax’s Quarry Brings Us Back To The Noire Grime We’ve Been Missing

[quote_simple]”Death isn’t complicated. Death just a switch that gets flicked off” [/quote_simple] Listen man, Cinemax is not out here playing games with yall anymore. That should have been evident with Banshee that we covered. Banshee gave us a fresh take on a modern era noire for four great seasons. Now with Banshee gone and Game of Thrones soon to be completed as well, a void has opened up and Cinemax is coming for that brass with their new show Quarry. We’re thrown back into the post-Vietnam 70’s as we follow veteran marine Mac “Quarry” Conway’s (Logan Marshall-Green) return home. Mac finds himself alienated for his part in the war and then involved in a seedy underworld of contract killing and corruption.

Dude, I am a complete sucker for stories where our main protagonist is a shunned good guy that’s left with few opportunities and options forcing them to go back to another side of them that’s colder and bout that 187 (murder). We are going to follow Mac through his PTSD of the Vietnam war, how America was against it, and then the treatment of the veterans that served. Matt is basically left to fend for himself as society starts to shut him out and we see a character only known as The Broker (Peter Mullan) come in wanting to give Mac a way to make ends meet using the abilities that got him through the war.
