Summary
Naga Munchetty is joined by Hayley Campbell and Scott Bryan to review the week’s biggest TV and streaming releases. On this week’s podcast, the team review BBC One’s five-part crime thriller ‘The Cage’, featuring Sheridan Smith. It follows casino thieves Matty and Leanne - played by Michael Socha and Sheridan Smith - after the pair realise they have been stealing from the same casino safe, sending them on a path into the world of crime. Second, the trio discuss the new Netflix cult drama Unchosen. Created and written by Julie Gearey, and inspired by real-life experiences in high-control religious communities in the UK, it follows a fictional ultra conservative patriarchal community in rural England run by Mr. Phillips, played by Christopher Eccleston. Last up is ITV’s five-part espionage thriller Secret Service, starring Gemma Arterton as an MI6 officer unmasking a Russian mole within the UK government. In the process, she risks her reputation and her family, as an election looms.
