The first full trailer for the new BBC crime drama Mint has been released (which you can catch up with below), and I can honestly say I’m none the wiser about what’s going on.<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong: it’s a rare treat to be kept in the dark after watching a trailer. Created by Scrapper director Charlotte Regan, the “unconventional” eight-part crime drama is set to explore “soaring romance, crushing heartbreak and what love might feel like when everyone outside of your family is terrified of you.”<\/p>\n

Because there’s nothing I need more than a new fear in the back of my head keeping me awake at night! However, cast Emma Laird, Ben Coyle-Larner, Sam Riley, Laura Fraser, and Lindsay Duncan look to be taking their touchy subject matter in an entirely new direction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

All episodes will be on BBC iPlayer from 6am BST on Monday, 20th April, with the first two airing on BBC One from 9pm that night. But what exactly are we letting ourselves in for?<\/p>\n

While the above trailer doesn’t exactly give anything away, here’s everything we know about Mint so far.<\/p>\n

We start with Shannon (Laird), the daughter of her area\u2019s dominant crime family, who is desperately searching for romance in the shadow of her father, Dylan (Riley).<\/p>\n

Shannon falls hard for Arran (Carner), a member of a rival crime family who has newly arrived in town. Their love story presents an undeniable connection that changes both of their lives for good, but not everyone in their lives sees it the same way.<\/p>\n

While Shannon and Arran are navigating their forbidden romance, elsewhere, things are imploding for Shannon\u2019s family. Dylan decides to step down as the head of the family for mysterious reasons.<\/p>\n

Basically, it’s like Romeo and Juliet meets Channel 4’s Humans, if the trailer clip aesthetic is anything to go by. There are bound to be layers upon layers in Regan’s worldbuilding, so defining Mint simply as a crime drama is most likely underselling things.<\/p>\n

I’m all for bringing some avant-garde whimsy back to mainstream television, so if you’re looking for a thriller that’s more experimental art than formulaic, I think you’ve found it.<\/p>\n
