Robin Wright stars as a mother at odds with her son’s sultry new girlfriend in this gripping thriller

Certificate: 15

This delicious thriller stars Robin Wright as a mum who hates her son’s racy new girlfriend on sight. Daniel (Laurie Davidson) is besotted with Cherry Laine (Olivia Cooke), a woman with a name like someone from a Beatles song who turns up to meet his parents in a saucy red dress. Cherry and Daniel can’t keep their hands off each other that night and Laura (Wright) can’t keep her mind off the idea that something isn’t right with Cherry. So, the question of the show becomes, is Laura right, or is she just jealous of losing her son’s attention? Or could it be both?

No spoilers here, but the show is packed with details and lines that keep you guessing throughout, helped by the fact that we see all the events from both women’s perspectives: each of the moreish six episodes (which you’ll find yourself absolutely racing through) is split down the middle between Cherry and Laura, showing us the way each woman sees events in front of them. And the differences are fascinating.

Wright directed the first three episodes, and all her scenes with Cherry are electric. Both actresses pack a lot into a look in all of them, and this is a show full of looks that hint at what’s going on underneath. Long story short, this is a cracking thriller that should make you gasp more than once. (Six episodes)
