Review of This Town

This Town (2024– )
10/10
Beautiful, thoughtful with stars of the future
4 April 2024
I am loving this three eps in. The two young men are stars and the dialogue is perfect. Love the interplay between loyalty, aspiration and the pull of place and family.

It's not fast paced but don't be out off. It's part nostalgia, part family saga.

I don't want to say more as I think the show speaks for itself. There is a star performance from Michelle Dockery, playing the alcoholic mother. She must have been thrilled to play her.

It's moody, perfectly captures the era and everything the BBC should be making. Stephen Knight has excelled with a pitch perfect script backed up by a great cast.
