(Piper Perabo as Julia
George)
A powerhouse TV producer and a charismatic defence attorney
don’t usually have anything in common-but in Notorious these two influencers are the media-makers,
opinion-shakers and the ones who ultimately control the justice system- one
outrageous scandal at a time.
Notorious starts on
November 28 at 19h30 on M-Net channel 101.
Julia George (Piper Perabo, Covert Affairs) is the brains behind a successful, highly-rated
actuality show. On the flip side, Jake Gregorian (Daniel Sunjata, Graceland) is a charming, high-stakes
defence attorney. Outward appearances would tell you that these two have no
love lost between them, but secretly their symbiotic relationship is actually a
cunning, ingenious ploy that helps them control the nation’s headlines - and
courtrooms.
In the premiere episode, Julia learns that an internet mogul
named Oscar Keaton has been issued with an arrest warrant for fleeing the scene
of a hit-and-run. Prepared to get the exclusive, she calls on the mogul’s
lawyer and friend, Jake, places him in front of the camera and lets the drama
unfold. Though it appears that they’ve both got full control of the situation,
scandalous secrets soon start spilling out, forcing them to question everything
they know.
