Peacock’s crime drama ‘M. I. A. ’ hits NBC with a free pilot episode

A new crime show called ‘M. I. A. ’ is landing on NBC after its online release. The first episode will air on Thursday, May 14, at 10 p. m. ET, giving viewers a chance to watch the pilot for free without cable. If you don’t have a TV antenna or cable, you can still tune in through streaming services that carry NBC, like DIRECTV. They’re even offering a five-day free trial for new users, which means you can watch the episode live without paying—just cancel before the trial ends. If you’d rather stream the whole season, Peacock already has all nine episodes available. Peacock usually doesn’t offer free trials, but there’s a trick: sign up for Walmart+’s free 30-day trial, and you’ll get Peacock Premium (with ads) included at no extra cost. Once the trial runs out, your account will switch to a paid plan unless you cancel in time. It’s a sneaky way to binge the show for free.The story follows Etta Tiger Jonze, a young woman in South Florida whose family’s drug operation goes wrong, leaving her with nothing. She’s now on a mission to find out who destroyed her life while also figuring out who she wants to be. The trailer shows her racing through Miami’s dangerous streets, trying to survive while hunting down those responsible for her family’s deaths. It’s a mix of revenge and self-discovery with plenty of action. The cast includes Shannon Gisela, Cary Elwes, Danay Garcia, and Brittany Adebumola, along with Dylan Jackson, Alberto Guerra, Maurice Compte, Gerardo Celasco, and Marta Milans. Even if you miss the NBC broadcast, the full series is waiting on Peacock for anyone willing to take a free trial.
