British Comedian Jack Whitehall Stars in New Thriller Alongside David Duchovny
If 2025 bingo cards are being written up with 'Jack Whitehall stars with David "The X Files/ Californication" Duchovny in glossy TV thriller' as a possible winner, the stakes would be high. But after watching Malice, it's hard not to believe that Whitehall and his co-star have got off on the right foot.
As Adam, a tutor with a penchant for ruining lives, Whitehall plays a character who is equal parts charming and sinister. His experience in comedy, particularly as seen in Fresh Meat and Bad Education, serves him well in conveying the complexities of this enigmatic man. While Adam's motives remain unclear throughout the series, his machiavellian antics are undeniably entertaining.
Adam starts off as a tutor at a Greek island estate belonging to wealthy businessman Jamie Tanner (Duchovny), where he quickly ingratiates himself with the family and friends in attendance. This is largely due to his knowledge of classic mythology and various useful skills, such as cocktail-making and domestic chores. However, beneath this affable exterior, Adam has an agenda - one that slowly comes to light as the series progresses.
Jamie Tanner, played by Duchovny, is a character both endearing and infuriating at the same time. His charm is undeniable, with his witty banter and roving intelligence making him a compelling figure to watch. As he navigates this complex web of relationships and betrayal, Duchovny brings depth to the role that is reminiscent of his iconic portrayal in Californication.
Throughout Malice, themes of wealth, power, and class are woven throughout the narrative. The show taps into our fascination with the lives of the elite while also skewering them for their entitlement and insensitivity.
What results is a wickedly entertaining ride that combines elements of 'The White Lotus' and 'The Talented Mr Ripley.' If you're looking for something to binge-watch this Christmas, Malice has got it covered.
One thing's for sure - with performances from both the lead actors, this glossy thriller is a must-see.

. I mean, who'd have thought that someone like Adam, all charming and sinister on the outside, would become a character that keeps you guessing? It's like, our outer shell is just a reflection of what's really going on inside 
. And can we talk about how Jack Whitehall's got some serious acting chops? I mean, it's not easy to make someone likable and yet still have them do some pretty shady stuff 
. It's all about the balance, you know? We've gotta learn to navigate our own complexities and find that delicate equilibrium in life too 
. And hey, with shows like Malice out there, it's a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there's always some level of entertainment to be found 
.
so rich and infuriating at the same time. like, i get why they chose duchovny for this role - he's got charisma to spare 
jack whitehall as adam tho 
he's so charming but also super sinister 
david duvony as jamie tanner is perfect too 
and the show just has this sick vibe to it 
like a mix of the white lotus and ripley 
, his character has this complexity to him that makes you both root for and dislike him at the same time. The show's definitely got a great vibe going on, it's like a deliciously wicked dessert 
- hard to look away from! One thing I'm curious about though, how will they keep Adam's true intentions under wraps? Can't wait to see more of this juicy drama unfold 
. Anyway, I think I need to get a Malice bingo card ASAP 
The way the show tackles themes of wealth and class is really thought-provoking too... it's like, you're entertained, but also kinda uncomfortable 
What a great combo! I'm totally binge-watching this over Christmas 
. They play off each other so well - Whitehall brings this lovable, yet menacing energy to his character Adam, while Duchovny's Jamie Tanner is effortlessly charming but also hiding some seriously dark secrets 
.
. I'm already thinking of writing up my own bingo card for 2025 - "Malice" as a possible winner? Count me in 
And Duchovny is perfect as Jamie Tanner, the charming but flawed main guy. His chemistry with Whitehall is undeniable, they've got a great dynamic going on.
. Worth every penny if you ask me!
Adam's character is soooo complex & intriguing, i love how he weaves in mythological knowledge to manipulate those around him 
And Duchovny, duh, he's always a winner as Jamie Tanner
