Yes, I think I know where Davies is going with this - it's an angry cry out at anti-LGBT feeling, but I'm not sure I buy it. I would have thought that attitudes - particularly in young people - would have softened towards these issues. Instead he chooses to paint a portrait of two innocuous Manchester neighbours, Alan Cumming and David Morrissey, and how one ends up murdering the other - something I find shocking but scarcely credible. Otherwise it's well written and acted, though I hated the ending, all these titles 'such and such got a life sentence' - I always feel that these aren't proper endings.
The references to all the shocking stuff online are quite disturbing. Overall it left an unpleasant taste in the mouth.
So - the always brilliant Emily Berrington is joined by: Pooky Quesnel, Paul Rhys (who tells us the world is doomed because of croissants), Jackson Connor and Joseph Evans (younger and older brother), Iz Hesketh (trans).
5 x 45 for Channel 4.
