Malice on Prime Video: The Ultimate Guide to Every Song

Prime Video has a new obsession fueler in Malice, which landed on November 14, 2025. It is created by James Wood and directed by Mike Barker and Leonora Lonsdale, with Jack Whitehall, David Duchovny, and Carice van Houten headlining. On paper it is a family drama. In practice it is a slow-burn nightmare about a seemingly helpful tutor who slides into a family on vacation and turns the temperature up one tiny degree at a time. The needle drops are doing a lot of heavy lifting here, too, so I pulled every song across the first six episodes and recapped the key beats so you can connect the vibes to the chaos.

Episode-by-episode catch-up

Episode 1

We open with Adam getting stopped by Homeland Security, which is an efficient way to tell us this guy is not just a nice face with a lesson plan. Cut to the Tanner crew on a picturesque Greece getaway: Jamie and Nat, their kids, plus friends, trying to decompress. Adam rolls in as the kids tutor, effortlessly charming and one step too observant. He quietly nicks Jamie's passport, ingratiates himself with the group, and keeps prodding Jamie like he is taking notes for later. After lugging a drunk Jamie home, Adam more or less signals that he is not there by accident. The songs in this one hang over every look and pause, turning small talk into warning signs.

Episode 2

Adam escalates. He kills a cat, wipes its blood on Jamie's shirt, and lets everyone assume blackout Jamie did something awful. Jodie gets sick and has to be airlifted to Athens, which conveniently clears space for Adam to get even closer. A local inspector digs into an assault on a man who says he heard English during the attack, which puts the Tanners squarely in the rumor mill. Over a family lunch, Adam stirs the pot and stays weirdly calm while everyone else overshares. When Jamie gets questioned about the assault, Adam does the concerned act despite being the one engineering the mess. By the end, Nat offers Adam the nanny job full-time, and he moves into their London home like he planned it all along. The music keeps the tension soft but constant, tilting normal moments into suspicious territory.

Episode 3

Now installed in the house, Adam works both sides of Jamie and Nat, nudging tiny arguments into real fractures. He cozies up to Kit with that too-friendly, nudging influence that encourages bad choices. We get a glimpse of Adam's backstory when he visits his sister and his parents' graves, hinting this grudge is deeply personal. At dinner with Damien and Jules, Jules senses something rotten and literally stabs Adam's hand, and she is not wrong. Adam retaliates by tipping off police when Kit sneaks out to a party and even messes with Jamie's dog. The family starts to split at the seams, and the soundtrack toys with tone, flipping between breezy and ominous in a way that keeps your stomach in a knot.

Episode 4

Dex wakes Nat after the party, and they realize Frankie is dead. Kit has been arrested and hit with a youth caution. Adam uses the fallout to wedge himself between father and son, feeding Kit warped stories that make Jamie look like the villain. Jules and Damien try to expose Adam as a fraud, but he slippery-slopes through it and pins everything on his brother Paul. Jules does not fully buy it, but Adam still pulls her back in and gets her to meet him at the pub. Offscreen logistics get grim: Adam deals with Damien's body, hides it in a car boot, then heads to see Jules like it is just another errand. A cop pulls him over, and we cut on a cliffhanger. The songs lean into that mix of sadness and pressure, like the aftermath is catching up even if the truth has not.

Episode 5

Adam discreetly dumps Damien's body in a lake and pretends the world is not catching fire around him. Jamie gets blindsided at work when a misconduct complaint lands, courtesy of Adam hacking his email and sending fakes. Nat tries to repair things, which mostly makes the distance feel bigger. Sophie tells Adam to let go of the past. He does not. Instead, he casually releases his snake and anonymously leaks Jamie's supposed scandal to the press for maximum chaos. The music keeps it low and eerie, sharpening each reveal without shouting over it.

Episode 6

The Tanner house gets cleared out overnight, and Nat immediately knows something is wrong. Jamie finally connects the dots: Adam's revenge traces back years to the collapse of Adam's father's company, which Jamie had money tied up in without realizing the personal fallout it would cause. Everything converges back in Greece. Adam pulls a gun and shoots Yorgos, Dimitri's son, then turns it on Jamie and kills him. He tries to slip out afterward, but history reruns itself: he gets stopped by Homeland Security at a U.S. airport. No neat bow, just a hard stop on his fate. The finale's tracks land the last blows, keeping you on edge even when the frame goes quiet.
