A gritty and realistic series set within the harsh confines of a contemporary UK prison. Based on testimonies from real-life prisoners and prison guards, the series explores the complex interplay between four central characters on both sides of the law: Kit, a ruthless gangster whose arrival will shake the already fragile balance of the unit; Barry, a small-time drug-dealer; Elin, a dedicated female prison officer; and George, a privileged young man with an addiction.
Why we like it:
We are immersed in the prison environment, to witness from up close the perilous games of blackmail and deceit between prisoners and guards, as tensions escalate to a surprising end.
