One of the best Sky shows I’ve seen put out. Propulsive pacing and momentum, complex characters, genuinely surprising twists (especially in episode 10).

Beautifully shot, with some particularly great colour work in the 10th episode and some brutally loud and crisp sound the entire experience is so worth the binge watch.

Not only is the film a fantastic exploration of creativity and passion and the personal cost that can accompany the chase for recognition that can come with that but it is also a wonderfully competent family drama and just makes you feel amazing when you watch it. The direction…
