Loosely based on a series of novels by Max Allan Collins, this grim Cinemax series focuses on Mac Conway (Logan Marshall-Green), a Marine who is returning to Memphis in 1972 from a tour in Vietnam but is under a cloud: his company is suspected of involvement in a My Lai-style massacre. Mac's wife, Joni (Jodi Balfour), has been engaged in an affair, although it will be some time before Mac realizes this. A more immediately pressing matter is that Mac is forced to become a member of a crew of hitmen led by a master criminal known as The Broker (Peter Mullan)âa job that will not only lead to Joni's kidnapping by one of his targets, but also to Mac being suspected of murder by a police detective. Marshall-Green invests the brooding, angry Conwayârechristened "Quarry" by The Brokerâwith a generalized angst, and the supporting cast is strong, also including Damon Herriman as Quarry's Broker-appointed partner-in-crime and such stalwarts as Tom Noonan and Ann Dowd in smaller roles. Still, the pervasively cynical portrayal of a society mired in violence and corruption, populated by characters who possess few redeeming qualities, makes for a rather depressing viewing experience. Presenting all eight episodes from the 2016 debut season, extras include audio commentaries, behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, and music videos. A strong optional purchase. (F.
