Mammals on Prime Video promises to deliver a hearty laugh
Amazon Prime Video shared the official trailer for the show on November 7, 2022, and it offers a glimpse of protagonist Jamie Buckingham's chaotic, comedic, and eventful life. It opens with Corden and Kreiling's characters saying,
''If love is impossible, we must believe in the impossible. We must believe in magic.''
The trailer perfectly strikes a balance between comedy and drama. It has a vibrant tone and promises to deliver a nuanced marital drama replete with complex characters.
Here's the official synopsis of the show, as per Amazon Studios' Press:
''MAMMALS follows the story of Jamie (JAMES CORDEN), a Michelin star chef whose world implodes when he discovers shocking secrets about his pregnant wife, Amandine (MELIA KREILLING). Jamie finds himself hunting for answers with the help of his brother-in-law Jeff (COLIN MORGAN).''
The description further states:
''Through this hunt, the cracks in Jeff’s marriage to Jamie’s sister Lue (SALLY HAWKINS) also widen. Jeff attempts to get through to Lue, but this only makes Lue descend deeper into a secret fantasy world. Meanwhile, after a tragic loss, Amandine delves into her passion for violin but finds solace from an unlikely source.''
Based on the trailer and synopsis, the film explores several complicated themes, including monogamy, love, and marriage, among many others. Viewers can look forward to a comic take on modern marriage, people's perceptions of love, and finding their soulmates.
The series consists of six episodes, which are expected to be released on Prime Video on November 11, 2022.
