Leopard Skin

Not a crime drama in any conventional sense this is a continuation of JETT and that show's style palette of brash colors influenced by film noir and classic women's pictures of the 1940's. Gutierrez knows his way around complicated femme fatales and plays with time, using the jewelry heist gone wrong (itself a noir staple) to get down to the real business he's after: the days and months leading up to the present and the psychological and philosophical quests of the various female characters, especially Batty (Gaite Jansen from Peaky Blinders, astounding) and the director's perpetual muse Gugino (perhaps better than ever).

This is an extremely confident 4 hour movie split into bite sized chunks for the binge generation.

Highly recommended.

How this series has a lower score than Jett is beyond me. This show is wildly unpredictable and exciting. My mind works like an automatic puzzle solving machine when I watch a show/film and usually predict the end very quickly, but with this show...? Ha. Not on your life.

I have found myself thinking back to this incredible show numerous times since watching and I am left wishing that there would be a sequel as I rather resent that the ride is over. I just want to see what happens to a few, certain characters as they really ended up being quite endearing.

I hope that Carla and Sebastion make more shows like this as they do it sooooo well. They understand love.

Fausto Malon (Gentry White), Sierra Loba (Nora Arnezeder), and Clover Braun (Margot Bingham) are on the run after a diamond heist. They seek a temporary hideout at a seaside estate. They take Alba Fontana (Carla Gugino) and Batista 'Batty' Ferreira (Gaite Jansen) hostage. The women's relationship is secretive and they are hosting a dinner for director Max Hammond (Philip Winchester) and his trophy girlfriend Maru (Amelia Eve).

This starts as a crime drama spiced with a bit of tropical Spanish flavor. It's a little quirky, a lot of sexy, and a bit mysterious. Then it turns into an S&M drama. It's not the usual cartoon leather-bound costume play. It's more emotional and powerful. It's eight episodes. Each episode is only thirty minutes. It's a little odd to have a drama shorten to that length. A few things are a bit off-kilter in this show. All in all, this is a fascinating short binge. The story doesn't seem to have much room to go for a second season unless Jeffrey Dean Morgan leads the Walking Dead gang to look for the diamonds. I'm assuming that this is a limited series.

Wow!!!! This is totally different than Jett (which Cinemax couldn't sell right but is on HBO Max) with some of the same actors like a parallel universe Jett. Carla Gugino is of course senselesly beautiful (when isn't she?) tOTally fierce in this story that has comedy, music, sex, violence and like something more esoteric? Amelia Eve (with Carla in Bly Manor) and Ana De La Reguera are the funny parts and the criminal gang is the scary part. And they do that well. I won't spoil how slick Negan is in this but also be prepared for the most intriguing relationship between two women on television. Fire! All the women are standouts. Gaite Jensen (Tatiana from Peaky Blinders) is heartbreaking!!! Peacock is really showing stepping up their game making something this fresh.

From the makers of Jett brings you Leopard Skin a Murder Mystery Jewel Heist Romance Thriller starring Carla Gugino, Gaite Jansen, Amelia Eve and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

First of all the filming location is quite stunning and beautiful to look at. I like the cast of characters with each passing episode we learn more about who these people are. Leopard Skin is quite stylized with quirky dialogue. The ending of the show still have a few unanswered questions about the heist. Do I want a season 2 of Leopard Skin? NO! Jett has too big of a cliffhanger to be just left alone so here's hoping Jett will get a season 2.
