Everything you need to know about Tin Star
Jim Worth, a former undercover detective from Liverpool, England, has set himself up for a quiet life after moving to the Canadian Rocky Mountains to become a police chief.
Little Big Bear, a small and quaint town, is dominated by North Stream Oil, with many of the residents working for the company.
But as this family of four settle in, Worth’s past quickly catches up with him, prompting the emergence of Jack Devlin – Jim’s violent alter-ego that he used undercover. While Jim does his best to keep him under wraps, alcohol seems to bring him out, with “Jack” emerging to eliminate anyone he suspects poses a threat to his family.
When disaster strikes, the corruption and lies Little Big Bear has been hiding rises to the surface.
In the third and final season, the family head back to Liverpool to put their past to bed once and for all.
First released in 2017, Tin Star ran for a total of three seasons, before winding down in 2020.
