THE BAD SEED SEASON 1:

From the award-winning author of best-selling novels The Night Book and Soon, Charlotte Grimshaw comes with this gripping crime drama. “The Bad Seed” is a five-part New Zealand television series about two brothers, Ford and Simon Lampton. Simon has escaped their dysfunctional family’s past to become a successful doctor with a perfect family. Older brother Ford, still rough around the edges, is the only outward disruption in Simon’s life. But when a neighbor is brutally murdered, Detective Marie Da Silva’s investigation draws the brothers into a hurricane of scandal and first broadcast on TVNZ 1 from 14 April 2019.

SEASON DETAILS:

The series will premiere in the US on Thursday, April 29, 2021, on Sundance Now.

Simon Lampton (Matt Minto) and Ford Lampton (Dean O’Gorman) playing two brothers who are products of a broken home: dad seems to have done such crappy things to them that Minto’s getting sent to borstal was actually a welcome relief to him and who knows about what mum did.

However, Minto got his life together. He went to university and is now a doctor. He’s married to Jodie Hillock and has two teenage daughters. He’s caught the eye of would-be PM Xavier Horan (Westside) and his wife Chelsie Preston Crayford (The Code). He even lets his brother live in the guest house, in return for which he helps out with odd jobs and looks after Hillock and the daughters when necessary.

Unfortunately, Minto also has a bit of a wandering eye and is having an affair with Keporah Torrance for reasons even he finds a bit mystifying. Is he broken inside thanks to the years of abuse he suffered?

It’s a question that others start asking themselves when Minto is implicated in the murder of one of his patients and it’s discovered that he beat up a girl when he was 13. Is Minto a bad seed in the heart of his seemingly perfect family? Is there even a bad seed inside him? It’s something cops Sami and Vinnie Bennett hope to find out.
