Insomnia To Buying London: The Seven Best Shows To Stream This Week
Vicky McClure disintegrates due to lack of sleep, while the Selling Sunset spinoff tastelessly and outrageously lands in the UK
What’s bothering Emma Averill (Vicky McClure)? Is it her domestic life, which has been disrupted by the return of her feckless sister Phoebe? The stress of her high-powered work as a custody lawyer? Buried childhood trauma connected to her seemingly malignant family? Emma can’t sleep and is obsessed with the idea that her mental health might be disintegrating in the same way her mother’s did. This drama, based on Sarah Pinborough’s novel, takes itself awfully seriously, but does a fine job of capturing the slightly out-of-focus alienation of sleeplessness, filtering it through Emma’s increasingly confused mental state as she searches for answers in the past.
