‘Jett’ Preview
JETT SEASON 1 EPISODE 1: The series premiere is titled “Daisy” and the synopsis reads, “Hoping to go straight, recently paroled master thief Daisy “Jett” Kowalski is enlisted by crime boss Charlie Baudelaire to steal a ring from Miljan Bestic, an Eastern European crime overlord living in Cuba.”
JETT SEASON 1 EPISODE 2: The second episode is titled “Charles Junior” and the synopsis reads, “Jett is forced to mastermind a heist at the site of a high-end poker game; Baudelaire’s son Junior continues to vex his father.”
Gugino and showrunner Sebastian Gutierrez talked to Decider about Jett and why it stands out from other female-led shows. “She is incredible in a crisis. She’s extremely pragmatic.” Gugino said of the title role. “Neither Sebastian nor I were interested in having her take on male qualities, but more, what if a woman really was like that. What if she just keeps her own counsel, she has her own moral compass and that’s the way that she looks at life.”
“We were hoping we could create a new role model for young women,” Gutierrez added. “A calm criminal who assesses. She’s the opposite of hysteria. Her whole life is about figuring out how to do things. Jett is not an expert marksman or a martial arts expert, she doesn’t have any superpower. She’s just a really observant, smart woman who happens to be a great thief. That’s what she’s always wanted to be.”
Gutierrez said that the series takes inspiration from pulp masters like Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino and classic film noir. “The great thing as a narrative device in noir is the present is the only thing that matters, but the past keeps crashing into it, and the future is not what you thought it was going to be because of that decision you made that was gonna be the last job,” he explained. “So built into it there’s this great notion where you don’t have to do a lot of boring exposition stuff. You can just jump to the cool scenes.”
