About the series

What it’s about

Lucie Manette has long believed her father dead. Then Charles Darnay, a French emigrant, brings word that the man may be alive, only to be arrested for treason himself. To save Darnay and find her father, Lucie turns to Sydney Carton, a lawyer. The two men, so unlike each other, unite to help her, while tension grows between England and France and personal feelings become inseparable from the coming upheaval.

What hooks you

The cast includes François Civil as Darnay, Mirren Mack as Lucie, and Kit Harington as Carton. The series is based on the novel by Charles Dickens, and its four episodes unfold in 1780s London.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys period drama where private loyalties collide with public unrest, and for those drawn to stories of sacrifice, mistaken identity, and love tested by revolution.
