|August 21, 2025
GRIPPING from the first moment, with a stellar cast, this political crime thriller will be binged by many of you in five hours straight.
Suranne Jones plays British Prime Minister Abigail Dalton, who we first see on a romantic rainy walk in the forest with her husband Dr Alex Anderson (Ashley Thomas).
It's a flashback and the couple are discussing the pros and cons of her vying for the PM job. Abigail is worried it would change things for their perfect family of three, with daughter Sylvie (Isobel Akuwudike).
This story is from the August 21, 2025 edition of The Sentinel.
