Overview
- The four-part psychological drama began on Channel 5 with episodes one and two airing in the 9pm slot on Tuesday and Wednesday, and all episodes are available on catch-up via My5.
- The plot follows Amanda Blakefield, played by Eleanor Tomlinson, who inexplicably inherits more than £2 million and a Northumbrian country estate from a stranger and is drawn into the secretive Worrall family.
- The series features a high-profile British ensemble including Matthew Lewis, Denis Lawson, Callum Woodhouse, Rebecca Front and Paula Wilcox and was filmed across Hartlepool, Newcastle, Northumberland and North Yorkshire, providing local crews with significant regional work.
- Early responses on social media and some press reviews were mixed-to-negative, with viewers criticising perceived implausible plotting, pacing and dialogue and The Telegraph giving a one-star review.
- Cast interviews and publicity say episodes three and four contain fast-paced, surprising revelations that could reshape opinion, so final audience and critical judgements will depend on the concluding instalments next week.
