Quickly, it’s realized that he has skeletons in his closet that still have the legs to catch up with him.At times, the series turns a bit into a cat-and-mouse game — with the mouse trying to figure out how it got a tail in the first place.When the show, created and written by Harry and Jack Williams, premiered on BBC One, it soared, with the pilot reaching 4.6 million viewers — becoming BBC iPlayer’s top performing original scripted show at that time.
It currently remains the most-watched show on the streaming platform.“I’ve never had to approach a character before who doesn’t know who he is, so it was almost like a total opposite process for me of not allowing yourself a backstory and accepting every single discovery he has as something new,” says Dornan. “I

In recalling stories from seventh grade, Maya Erskine, Anna Konkle and Sam Zvibleman were so entertained by their own memories that, in 2019, the close friends created PEN15, a comedy series where Erskine and Konkle, then 32, portrayed their semi-autobiographical journeys through middle school.
