About the series
Only one can wear the ring.
What it’s about
New recruit John Stewart and veteran Hal Jordan, intergalactic police from the Green Lantern Corps, are drawn into a murder investigation in Nebraska. The case pulls them into a dark, Earth-based mystery far from their usual cosmic beat.
What hooks you
The series stars Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler as the mismatched partners, with Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner and Kelly Macdonald as Sheriff Kerry. It is an HBO Max original, and its catalogue description likens it to 'True Detective'.
Who it’s for
It is a good pick for those who like superhero stories grounded in crime and detective work, and for viewers who enjoy the tension between cosmic power and small-town reality. It will also appeal to those who like character-driven drama with a noir edge.
