Key details about Prime Video's Malice
The ambiguous moral ending leaves the audience conflicted
Jack Whitehall has broken the silence on the unexpected twists that end his new Prime Video psychological thriller Malice. In an exclusive interview, the comedian-actor talked about how the series finale leaves the audience with mixed feelings about the show because of his character, Adam Healey. Adam is the vengeful male nanny who infiltrates the Tanner family, the rich community. Whitehall discloses that the denouement does not want to be easy or outright, as the conclusion itself carries a moral grayness that will make viewers question their attitudes toward the villain.
Whitehall also added another perspective on the finale, saying,
“What’s great about the script is that [screenwriter] James [Wood] has left it on this really strange note at the end where it’s not completely black and white, and you’re left with a very strange feeling as to what you feel about Adam.”
James Wood has come up with a tense ending as to whether Adam should be indicted for committing a crime. Meanwhile, you sympathize with him even though you realize that he may deserve it. Watchers of Malice are finding out exactly what Whitehall intended by such a troubling story choice since the show is currently streaming on Prime Video.
Understanding Adam's trauma reveals his complexity
The conclusion of Malice has no definite black-and-white note because it is truly strange, as revealed by Jack Whitehall. The ending is calculated to play on the viewer’s emotions by keeping them in doubt over whether to sympathize with Adam, even after they’ve witnessed the horrific nature of his behavior in the series. Whitehall points out that toward the second half of the show, viewers see Adam as both a real villain, someone they would just love to punish. He said on Radio Times,
"He is definitely someone that's been wronged, and he's someone that hasn't dealt with his trauma and is trying to process it, but has channeled it completely the wrong way."
The final episode overturns this perspective and introduces fresh information that makes the verdict less concrete. Wood has even left the ending open to interpretation so that some viewers may sympathize with Adam, while others will not sympathize with him at all.
The balance between rooting for justice and entertainment
Whitehall explains how screenwriter James Wood has managed to strike a balance between the push and pull of the revenge-thriller narrative. He notes that this careful equilibrium keeps viewers emotionally involved. The early episodes play against expectations, making Adam’s crimes appear as dark as they are entertaining, and viewers may internally hope that he succeeds in his schemes.
However, the more heinous Adam’s crimes become, the more people grow disengaged from the Tanner family. Eventually, viewers start desperately hoping that Adam will be caught. This continuous manipulation of emotions suggests that, at many moments in the series, viewers will switch sides between Adam and his victims several times. This complicated emotional experience is not resolved at the end and does not offer simple answers about who should be sympathized with and who should be punished.
