The Mosquito Coast, a new 7-episode Apple TV+ thriller that debuts April 30 on the streamer, is in some respects a perfect pandemic-era binge. For obvious reasons, a show about escape and starting over, and reducing one’s existence to the protection of family, might feel especially relevant to viewers who’ve spent months in lockdown and isolation, all while something seems to have slipped loose in the world outside. Allie Fox, the bearded inventor played here with captivating magnetism by Justin Theroux, certainly feels that way in The Mosquito Coast -- but that’s because Allie either knows or did something bad as part of his mysterious work for the federal government. And so he goes on the run. With a slightly sinister charisma reminiscent of Heisenberg-era Walter White -- such that you end up rooting for Theroux’s Fox over the course of the show’s 7 episodes, all while knowing without a shadow of a doubt that this guy is no angel -- he convinces his family that they all need to make an off-the-grid dash for the Mexican border. Which is what they spend the rest of the show doing. Running -- from overzealous gun-toting American militia members guarding the border, from federal agents, from the cartel. Running. And taking us along for what turns out to be a pretty gripping ride.
