Wolf: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Weird tale of obsession, torture and death from the creators of Sherlock and Inside Man
Year: 2023
Certificate: 15
Be warned, this new crime drama isn't for the faint-hearted, and it won't be for everyone. It's dark and, at times, fairly depraved, with some scenes best watched from behind a cushion.
It's based on Mo Hayder's acclaimed Jack Caffery novels and produced by the award-winning team behind Sherlock and Dracula, with a similar tendency to shock and push viewers to the limit while making everything look super-stylish.
The Midwich Cuckoos' Ukweli Roach plays DI Jack Caffery, a young detective obsessed with the neighbour he believes murdered his ten-year-old brother in the 1990s; Juliet Stevenson, Owen Teale and Annes Elwy are the wealthy Anchor-Ferrers family being held hostage in their isolated Monmouthshire home by a couple of psychopaths (played with great relish by Sacha Dhawan and Game Of Thrones bad boy Iwan Rheon).
The fates of Jack and the Anchor-Ferrers become inextricably linked in a nail-biting thriller. 'It's a series for people who like their crime served up in a slightly different way,' says writer Megan Gallagher. 'The episodes build and build and the finale is truly an example of everyone - actors, directors, scripts, music, art department, everyone! - all coming together in a gorgeous harmony.'
