The Serpent

Without Sin

Part of the launch of ITVX, this “moody and meticulously crafted whodunnit” follows Stella, the mother of a murdered teenager, who agrees to meet the killer in prison as part of a restorative justice programme, but is soon unsure about where the guilt really lies. From new writer Frances Poletti, and based in some of the grittier areas of Nottingham the mini-series got impressive reviews for Vicky McClure and Johnny Harris’ central performances, but also for tackling themes of guilt, motherhood, and broken lives.

The series was directed by Al MacKay and Mark edited the opening episode and episode 3.
