Our Review
Parish (2024) is a drama and crime series from AMC+. It has built a run of 6 episodes. It premiered on March 31, 2024. Viewers rate it 6.3 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 1 season.
What Parish Is About
The drama series is about a taxi driver whose life is turned upside down when he agrees to chauffer a New Orleans-based Zimbabwean gangster notorious for exploiting undocumented immigrants at the U.S. southern ports.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 6 episodes, spread across 1 season and it leans into its drama/crime roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Giancarlo Esposito, Zackary Momoh and Ivan Mbakop to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Giancarlo Esposito, Zackary Momoh, Ivan Mbakop, Dax Rey, Skeet Ulrich and Bonnie Mbuli lead the cast.
Key roles include Giancarlo Esposito as Gracian "Gray" Parish; Zackary Momoh as The Horse; Ivan Mbakop as Zenzo; Dax Rey as Luke; Skeet Ulrich as Colin Broussard.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of drama and crime have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside AMC+’s other originals, a 6.3/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2024 and carried by AMC+ with the series still ended, it lands hardest with drama and crime viewers.
How Parish Compares
If Parish lands for you, the next stops are Breaking Bad, Firefly and The Wire, which share its drama/crime lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
Where to Stream
Parish comes from AMC+. Check your preferred platform for current availability, since regional rights move around.

On the whole Parish is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Giancarlo Esposito and Zackary Momoh doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its drama/crime roots, It has held up since 2024 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Parish is a safe bet for anyone already inside the drama and crime lane, at 6 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 6.3/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 6.3/10. Watch it if you want drama/crime you can settle into.
