NEW YORK, May 7 (UPI) -- Newcomer Shannon Gisela says her M.I.A. character, Etta Tiger Jonze, is a young woman who loves her family, but feels conflicted about the way they make their living.
Premiering on Peacock Thursday, the show is set in the Florida Keys and follows Etta as she tries to avenge the deaths of her drug-running parents, played by Danay Garcia and David Denman, as well as her brothers and their wives.
"She's whip-smart. She has a huge heart. She has a real sense of justice and wants to fight for what she believes in and loves her family and she's also a bad-ass," Gisela told UPI about Etta in a recent Zoom interview.

Created by Ozark's Bill Dubuque, the show opens with Etta giving alligator-spotting boat tours through the Everglades, while the rest of her family handles the more dangerous and lucrative ventures.
