10 Best Movies and TV Shows to Stream in March

The Oath (Crackle, Mar. 8th)
From executive producer Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson – and what a beautiful phrase that is – comes a new cop drama grittier than coarsely graded sandpaper. Welcome to the clandestine world of police gangs, tightly-knit cells of corrupt officers who keep one another safe from the gangsters out for their blood and the boy scouts at Internal Affairs. Death magnet Sean Bean stars as the top dog in one of the most ruthless outfits, with True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten and Cory Hardrict portraying his crooked proteges. Creator Joe Halpin worked for years as a Sheriff’s Deputy for the LAPD, including an extended stint working undercover. Think Michael Mann, but on the small screen.

'The Oath': Ryan Kwanten on Breaking Bad in Crackle's New Crime Drama

TV Insider caught up with Kwanten recently to get the lowdown on his new role in the Crackle crime drama.

What was the appeal of playing this character? Steve Hammond is definitely different from Jason Stackhouse!
 Ryan Kwanten: It was the opportunity to not just get a little dirt under the fingernails [but] really dig deep into the recesses of my own life experience and to bring a little bit of those skeletons and those demons to the forefront. This is the kind of show that would embrace what some people would consider flaws, or those things that we all harbor. The fact that we keep focusing on family and love is not something you expect to hear from this type of a show.

The family element gives the show so many places to go as well as some depth.
The pilot is really a chance to snare viewers with the hooks. Once those hooks are in, you will get dragged down into this rabbit hole of madness that we all did. Those snap judgments that you might make on some of the characters may sort of get reversed. We play with the very notions and the clichés that we're used to seeing and we kind of flip that.

When we meet Hammond, is this where he wants to be in his life or is there another reason he goes down this path?
That's a very good question. He's obviously lived a life in the shadow of his father [Bean's character], who has been a cop his whole life and leading the Ravens for some time. And then his father is now in jail for being a little too obvious with his cop gang dealings.

 Because of that, I've come in as a surrogate leader of the gang now. There's a certain amount of Hammond being able to watch his father, and his father's a lot more instinctual, whereas Hammond's a lot more pragmatic about the choices. He wants to sit back and be a bit more of a tactician before doing things. It's a constantly shifting group dynamic. It's me becoming comfortable with the gang. The gang becoming comfortable with me, but then the stakes keep getting darker and deeper.

What is his relationship like with his father?
As far as Hammond is concerned, he would rather have his father be as non-existent as possible. He's not particularly happy with the way that his father, Tom, has treated his mother. That's a huge sort of conflict point between myself and Cole, my adopted brother.

Whereas he still has an allegiance to his father, my allegiance is now with Mom [Linda Purl]. All the money that we make is literally buying her time. She's so stricken with cancer, and they're trying alternative methods to chemotherapy. All sorts of things to keep her alive. There's things that he's fighting for that are beyond sort of the scope of the job.

So everything Hammond is doing is for his mother, which would make her his Achilles heel in some way.
Ah, very well said! It's not that it gives him permission to do the things that he does, but it certainly gives him a motivation. Linda Purl does such an exquisite job.

What was the biggest challenge for you when shooting season one?
Maintaining a level of intensity day in and day out because you have to imagine that these cops put themselves in these extreme circumstances on a regular basis. And that can't help but weigh on a man.

A lot of people have a chip on their shoulder, and Hammond's got a boulder on his shoulder. Cops learn to repress that pain and be unknown, but that's at the same time a demon. It's sort of festering like a cancer inside of you. I've always described Hammond as like a human coiled spring.

AXN shows "The Oath" a little later than planned

In mid-February AXN had announced the launch of "The Oath" in Germany for 12 March, but it will not come to that.  As the broadcaster has informed, the spectators have to be patient for a little longer: the original version with subtitles can only be seen in double episodes from 9:45 pm on Mondays.  The series premiered on 8 March at the streaming service Crackle.

 Why the German viewers now have to wait a month longer than originally planned, said AXN not.  For the transmitter has now also called a start date for the German dubbed version of the series.  This is on Tuesdays from 29 May every Tuesday from 21:50 clock to see the start shows you three episodes in one fell swoop.  Overall, the first season of "The Oath" includes ten episodes.

Premiere: The Oath in German version

The start of the subtitled original version is now on April 9, from 22:55 clock in double sequences (originally scheduled for March 12).

The exclusive premiere of the German version will start on May 29 from 21:50 clock with three episodes in a row on AXN in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Following the broadcast, the episodes will be available on demand at the video stores of Vodafone, Unitymedia, EntertainTV and Amazon Channels.

Cory Hardrict predicts 'The Oath' will be 'one of the big shows of 2018'

We talked with Hardrict about the show. The interview has been condensed and edited.

Q: There is a lot of deception, backstabbing and lies told among characters on the show. Do they have any redeeming qualities?

A: (Laughs) There’s a lot of redeeming qualities — it’s more like a slow burn. It unfolds after Episode 7 — after 7, 8, 9 and 10, you’ll get the first six. There are a lot of great arcs in there; and there are a bunch of great qualities. That’s why Joe Halperin set it up like that — to have everyone asking what you just asked me.

Q: What more can you tell me about the series?

A: What I can tell you is that there’s a bunch of roller coasters and different plot lines that will keep you invested, and the dynamics and the relationships are something special — Sean Bean plays my father, Ryan Kwanten plays my brother, so there are a lot of layers there — there’s a lot of emotional weight coming from that standpoint. There’s a method to the madness and everyone has a purpose for their character and it all ties in to family and one goal, whether it’s good or bad, everyone believes in what they’re doing. Everything is meticulous and calculated and makes sense to them and what they’re doing. I believe it’s going to be one of the big shows of 2018 … I think so, because I’m in it and I’m from Chicago Heights, so …
 
 Q: How was it working with 50 Cent?

A: 50 Cent was great. He’s always cutting edge and trying to tell some dramatic, real powerful stories. He’s getting behind great TV shows, like he did with the creation of “Power,” so hopefully that can bleed over into “The Oath.”

Q: What led you to the project?

A: I play the adopted son, brother of the show. My back story was, my parents got rid of me, so I didn’t feel like I was loved, I didn’t have any family who cared about me, so I kind of hold that dear to me throughout the show. I’m real intense. I’m real emotional. I’m hiding a lot of pain from my life experiences and when I read it, it kind of clicked with me because everybody needs love in their life. I thought this could be something cool. So I am this cop who would do anything to help the fam — the Ravens, because we’ve all sworn in to this oath, this secret society and we won’t do anything to break it. We’re all like a family as well — this cop gang — and we all have our own individual families; it’s all based on family and relationships and that really stuck out to me when I read it. I think it’s going to resonate with people. I don’t really do TV, but this was something that felt like 10 movies to me and something that I felt was real, so I was all in.

Sean Bean says it’s a surprise when his character lives

Sean Bean is as famous for his rugged looks and thick northern British accent as the many creative ways in which he dies onscreen.

He’s been stabbed, shot, chased off a cliff, tossed off a satellite dish, beheaded, exploded, killed by arrows, and drawn and quartered in everything from the Bond movie “Goldeneye” to “Game of Thrones” and “The Lord of the Rings.”

Says the actor: “It’s a surprise when I survive. A quite nice surprise for me and, hopefully, for the audience.”

For his new series, the Yorkshire-bred actor shockingly makes it to the end of the season. In “The Oath,” on Crackle, Bean plays the imprisoned patriarch of a gang of rogue cops. It’s a brooding, dark and violent look at how corrosive corruption can be.

Sean Bean takes on another tightly wound character

NEW YORK — Sean Bean is as famous for his rugged looks and thick northern British accent as the many creative ways in which he dies onscreen.

He's been stabbed, shot, chased off a cliff, tossed off a satellite dish, beheaded, exploded, killed by arrows, and drawn and quartered in everything from the Bond movie "Goldeneye" to "Game of Thrones" and "The Lord of the Rings."

For his new series, the Yorkshire-bred actor shockingly makes it to the end of the season. In "The Oath," on Crackle, Bean plays the imprisoned patriarch of a gang of rogue cops. It's a brooding, dark and violent look at how corrosive corruption can be.

Bean, 58, talked with The Associated Press about the new series.

AP: This is another tightly wound, sinister character. What attracts you to them?

B: I guess when your character is in darkness or is very cerebral and contained, you don't have to learn as many lines. (Laughs.) You just do it with facial expression. They do actually tend to be men-of-not-many words sort of characters — I quite like that. I don't like saying too much.

Q: The series is shot in Puerto Rico and had to contend with Hurricane Maria in September. The cast and crew returned to finish filming after that monster storm. Was it hard?

A: I was there for the first few weeks. I'd finished my scenes by, I suppose, July, something like that. I'd been gone about three weeks when I started picking it up on the news report. I know it gets storms in that part of the world but I never thought it would be as bad as that. I thought about the people there who welcomed us with open arms. They're very friendly and hardworking people ...

Q: Is there a second season in the works and are you a part of it?

A: Well, I don't die in it. Well, maybe I shouldn't tell you. You know, everyone expects me to die, don't they? I think there's talk of it. I think they're seeing how it goes down and see what the reaction is.
