Additional UA clients involved include Tom Hemmings as Editor, Helen Scott as Production Designer and Clare-Hope Ashitey playing the role of Carly.

The drama generated a consolidated average audience of 8.2m (31.3%) across its 5 x 60-minute run, with the final episode consolidating to 10.1m (37.4%) viewers. Fantastic reviews aided the growth in viewing figures.

 “A compelling, tightly-scripted drama, more in the vein of feature-length psychological thriller Gone Girl than a cosy comedy TV drama... (with) clever direction from Tom Vaughan.” The Independent

 “An edgy nail-biter...this was tensely intriguing fare. It was reminiscent of Fatal Attraction from the wronged wife’s point of view or the domestic noir novels that have been all the rage since Gone Girl.” The Telegraph

 “A brilliant and gripping portrait of a marriage slowly being poisoned. I...urge you to watch.” The Guardian
