THE HOUR, a two season drama set in the 1950s, looks at the lives and loves of three journalists working for the BBC as they create The Hour, a new kind of show for that time…a 60 Minutes with real investigative reporting. Both seasons interweave world-shaping events such as the Suez Canal and the establishment of nuclear bases in England. As The Hour is created there is romance, murder and of course sharp humor.
BLACK MIRROR is an anthology series combining reality, fantasy and solid drama, all based just enough in real life to make them deeply disturbing. Sometimes they’re funny, sometimes, whimsical but most often they offer a dystopian view of society whether set in the past, present or future.
HAPPY VALLEY, the last in a three part series, chronicles the final days on the job of a feisty, but weary policewoman who refuses to compromise in her efforts to protect her teenage grandson against the efforts of his charming, devious and psychopathic father who has probably caused the teen's mother's death. The father, now in prison, wants to bond with the son, an effort which is entangled with the father's scheme to escape his time in prison.
