Synopsis
How well do we ever really know our partner? That’s the question at the heart of this crafty comedy-drama, which follows married couple Jamie (Corden) and Amandine (Melia Kreiling) as they navigate the happily ever after. Combining the trappings of romantic comedy with the twists and turns of a whodunnit, the show deftly explores just how complicated long-term commitment can be. Best known for his comic performances, Corden is terrific in a more contained dramatic role, while Hawkins and Colin Morgan sparkle as Jamie’s sister and brother-in-law – a couple facing their own challenges. Butterworth’s (Jerusalem, Spectre) dexterous script is nimbly directed by Stephanie Laing, who has previously shown such a keen eye for gender dynamics in her work on PHYSICAL and MADE FOR LOVE.
