Secrets and lies.

 We all have a secret back story, that we are keen to repress. I know having worked for many years as a psychoanalyst in private practice. Just so with this enthralling series Sherwood. The first episode came out in the summer of 2022 and series two has just been released. If it's anywhere as good we are in for another treat. The drama is set in Nottingham in -1984 and the political crisis, initiated by the Thatcher government. The issue is whether the coal mines are economically viable? Thatcher, was of the opinion that they were not and was determined to close them down. Social unrest on a grand scale ensued across the country. There was - civil war in many parts of England and Wales and police were mobilised to  crush the strikes. The Metropolitan police had a secret unit that had a number of officers embedded in the community. This is the dramatic back story, that unfolds in gripping detail. There is a stella cast including David Morrissey as detective chief superintendent St Clair and Lesley Manville as a grieving wife. My score is 5x don't miss the new series that began on Sunday evening.
