The Miami-set series, which also stars Adam Brody from The OC (it’s okay, breathe), was made by US streaming service Crackle and is already being compared to Mr Robot.

It tells the story of a brilliant – yet controversial – tech idea that falls into the wrong hands. When three strangers, a desperate banker (Brody), a Haitian-American gang lord and a Cuban-American hacker are forced to work together, their fight to build a business becomes a fight to stay alive.

Specialising in financial crimes, determined FBI agent Phil Rask (Freeman) has the power to make or break those he comes in contact with — and that power is not always used for the right reasons.
