From “Ozark” co-creator, Bill Dubuque, Peacock’s latest crime drama, “M.I.A.,” is a wild and bloody ride focusing on family, vengeance and having the courage to do what’s right.  Set in South Florida, the series follows Etta Tiger Jonze (Shannon Gisela), who finds herself reeling in the aftermath of a tragedy. Determined to make those responsible pay for her pain, Etta ends up in Miami, intent on taking down the people responsible, one by one. A vast, bloody narrative full of secrets and betrayals, there is a lot happening in “M.I.A.” Though it doesn’t always snap together perfectly — as engaging as the series is, it’s also thoroughly preposterous — the show will definitely keep audiences tethered to their screens.  ​
