Murders and Music are New for March

TV: Scarpetta

(premiering March 11th, on Prime Video) 

Scarpetta is a crime thriller series based on Patricia Cornwell's novels, starring Nicole Kidman as Dr. Kay Scarpetta. The eight-episode series follows the brilliant forensic pathologist using advanced technology to solve cases, while dealing with a dual-timeline narrative: her 1990s beginnings and a present-day return to her hometown in Virginia to hunt a serial killer, navigating a complex and fraught relationship with her sister Dorothy (Jamie Lee Curtis) while confronting professional grudges and personal secrets. The show explores the psychological complexities of investigators and the high cost of pursuing justice. 

Film: How To Make A Killing

(in cinemas from March 13th) 

Disowned at birth by his obscenely wealthy family, blue-collar Becket Redfellow will stop at nothing to reclaim his inheritance, no matter how many relatives stand in his way. 

Glen Powell stars as Becket Redfellow in this tale of murdering your way to millions. Becket’s mother,  the heiress to a $28 billion fortune, died poor having been cast out after falling pregnant with Becket. Now, her charismatic but ruthless son has hatched a murderous plot to eliminate the seven family members who stand in the way of the inheritance he considers his birthright. Can money really buy happiness?

As the heirs fall one by one, in a series of increasingly imaginative accidents, Becket’s pretty sure it can. But if he’s going to pull off his ambitious scheme, he’s going to have to manage his relationship with his loving girlfriend (Jessica Henwick), and the attentions of a flirtatious old flame (Margaret Qualley) who is wise to his plan and wants her own slice of the Redfellow fortune in return, and a couple of FBI agents who with each death get increasingly curious.

Music: Harry Styles, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.

(from March 6^th) 

Harry Styles’ fourth album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally., arrives marking a shift from the pop soundscapes of Harry's House toward a "slow-build" electronic, hedonistic, and club-inspired sound. Executive produced by Kid Harpoon, the 12-track album is teased by the lead single "Aperture," a five-minute track inspired by Berghain, Berlin’s selective techno nightclub housed in a disused powerplant. This single moves away from guitars toward an electronic, slightly indie-psych sound. It is considered a "slow-burn" rather than a high-energy, instant-hit pop song. The lyrics are described as a mantra about desire and vulnerability.
