New crime drama lands on streaming service with wild Miami ride

The new crime drama series M. I. A. hits Peacock this week, following Etta Tinger Jonze as she gets dropped into a storm after her family’s drug operation in Florida falls apart. Played by Shannon Gisela, Etta isn’t just walking away—she’s stepping straight into Miami’s gritty nightlife where danger lurks in every neon corner. The show’s first season drops all nine episodes at once, so binge-watchers won’t have to wait for weekly updates.If you’re thinking about diving in, Peacock’s subscription is surprisingly light on the wallet. For under eight bucks a month, you can stream M. I. A. and rack up hours of other original shows. That’s cheaper than most takeout meals these days. Before you hit play, know the cast also includes familiar faces like Cary Elwes and Danay Garcia, adding extra star power to the mix. Behind the scenes, the show plays with the idea of a family business turning toxic overnight. One minute Etta’s dealing with the family trade, the next she’s dodging trouble in a city where loyalty doesn’t last long. The press calls it a coming-of-age tale, but really it’s about figuring out who you become when everything you knew flips upside down.
