After The Flood

Matt Roush says...

Peaky Blinders’ Sophie Rundle stars as police officer and detective trainee Jo Marshall in a compelling six-part mystery (two episodes a week) that doubles as a cautionary tale of climate change. The series opens during a deluge that floods a British village, when a pregnant Jo witnesses a man apparently drowning while rescuing a baby that was swept away in the churning waters. A John Doe’s body is later found in an underground elevator, discovered to have been killed days before the natural disaster. Though Jo is cautioned by colleagues, including her detective husband on the Murder Team, to leave the case for others to solve, she is driven to connect the dots between this murder and the baby-saving hero who has yet to be found.
