Guilt Season 3 | April 28 at 10/9c
The third and final installment of this award-winning Edinburgh crime drama sees vastly incompatible brothers Max and Jake McCall trying to find a future free of danger—and each other. “Guilt’s strength comes from melding farce with noir, great music, and bone-dry wit,” says the Times (UK).
Guilt stars Mark Bonnar (World on Fire, Catastrophe, Line of Duty) and Jamie Sives (Annika, Chernobyl, Game of Thrones). Joining them are some familiar faces and pleasant surprises from Seasons 1 and 2.
Revisit the McCall brothers’ history of comically bad decision-making when you watch Guilt with PBS Passport.
