Binge alert: all eight seasons of #WildAtHeart are now streaming on #AcornTV! In this hit #British #drama series, a newly blended family finds common ground in the African bush. The Trevanions are a troubled brood when father Danny takes them on a trip to Africa. Vacation turns to vocation when they decide to restore a rundown game reserve.
Coming March 17: Striking Out, starring Amy Huberman (The Clinic). Hailed as “a roaring success” (Irish Independent), this legal drama charmed audiences across the pond, quickly becoming Ireland’s #1 new drama.
Tara Rafferty (Huberman) is living the good life: she’s a successful Dublin lawyer engaged to a fellow attorney. But Tara’s life is turned upside down after she discovers her betrothed in bed with a colleague. Abandoning her wedding plans (and her job), Tara strikes out on her own, starting an unconventional private practice. At first unsure how she’ll cope, Tara begins to realize she is more than capable of being on her own – both personally and professionally.
