This series follows the story of Jane (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), a woman with a painful past who is selected by architect Edward Monkford (David Oyelowo) to move into his perfect, minimalist house.

“Jane falls in love with an extraordinary minimalist house, but when she discovers that another woman died on the same property three years earlier, she begins to wonder if her own story is just a repetition of the previous girl,” the official synopsis tells us.

From the beginning there is something that doesn’t add up, especially when someone offers a property below the market price which, just like in real life, is usually indicative that something is not quite right. And from there we begin to feed the vibe of suspense and anxiety that surrounds this type of productions.

In addition to everything that the story contains, which delves deeply into the implications of trauma and loss, the performances mark a highlight of the series. Mbatha-Raw’s tenacious and vulnerable presence is complemented by the enigmatic character of Oyelowo. The rest of the cast is completed by Jessica Plummer, Ben Hardy, and Rakhee Thakrar.
