Aaron Paul wanders off The Path to do a little Blackmail for NBC

Variety has a synopsis, of course, which suggests that the Blackmail title is pretty apt. An unfaithful man somehow hurts or otherwise screws over a young married couple. After some “life-changing accident,” the man is blackmailed by the couple, who threaten “to reveal his infidelity to his fiancée.” But it turns out the extortionists might have messed with the wrong guy, as things quickly go from “sinister” to “game of cat-and-mouse.” Somehow, everyone’s misdeeds will catapult the young marrieds to “power couple” status, so at least there’s a happy ending. That is, unless Blackmail gets a second season in which the newly-minted power players are themselves blackmailed. That’s a lot to get our heads around (bitch).
