Crackle April 2022 Mystery and True Crime Programming

Yes, I realize April is already half over. It’s been a busy month. Sadly, I let a press release about the Crackle’s April 2022 programming get buried in my inbox.

But since these movies and TV shows aren’t only playing in April, I figured there’s still plenty of time to share them, so here I am doing just that.

Because Crackle’s got some great stuff, especially if you’re a fan of mystery and/or true crime. For instance, there’s the new Crackle original series, Les Norton, as well as the hit series Sherlock that stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, which is available for free exclusively on the advertising-supported video-on-demand (AVOD) network.

However, besides mystery and true crime, Crackle also has some other great genres, including Sci Fi, as well as new BBC titles and Channels. Let’s check it all out.

New Crackle April 2022 AVOD Originals

Les Norton

Les Norton is a ten-episode limited series starring Rebel Wilson, directed by based on the best-selling book series by Robert G. Barrett.

Set in 1985, the series follows the exploits of Les Norton (Alexander Bertrand), a country bloke from outback Queensland. On the run from a troubled past, he blows into Sydney where he lands a job as a bouncer at a notorious illegal casino in Kings Cross and tangles with Rebel’s brothel owner, Doreen. A classic fish out of water who is desperate to get home, he soon finds himself seduced by the city’s illicit charms and dragged into a web of underground criminality.

New Crackle April 2022 AVOD Exclusives

Sherlock

Crackle is giving audiences exclusive access to four seasons of the hit award-winning series Sherlock. The highly successful, new adaptation of Sherlock Holmes stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Watson.

Holmes, an analytical deduction fanatic, is helping on police investigations for fun when he runs into potential flatmate Dr. John Watson, fresh from serving in the war in Afghanistan and sporting a limp. In spite of Watson’s initial skepticism, Holmes’ brilliant mind and dangerous lifestyle offer the stimulation he craves, and the two quickly forge an alliance. Sherlock provides the inspired leaps of intellect, while Watson keeps his friend’s flights of fancy grounded –creating the perfect pairing for a legendary partnership.
