Rueben's Ramblings

On November 16, the new DirecTV crime drama Ice will debut at 8 PM.

This high-impact, serialized crime drama follows the Green Family, as they plunge into the underbelly of the Los Angeles diamond trade. Jake (Cam Gigandet from The O.C. and Burlesque) and Freddy (Jeremy Sisto from Suburgatory) are half-brothers brought together by their father Isaac (Raymond J. Barry from Justified and The 100), the patriarch behind G&G Diamonds and their uncle Cam (Ray Winstone from The Departed).

After wildcard Freddy kills a prominent diamond dealer, his brother Jake must bail him out and save the family business from a crime lord of the Los Angeles diamond trade (Judith Shekoni from Heroes Reborn). Jake must endure all of this while maneuvering amongst jewelry thugs, blood diamond deals, false certificates, the Feds, and Pieter Van De Bruin (veteran actor Donald Sutherland), a ruthless Afrikaanz diamond merchant who now heads up an Antwerp-based diamond cartel with the same cutthroat skills he applied as a surgeon in the South African armed forces.

Here is a trailer for Ice:
