EPISODES 1.01-1.03 Michael Sheen’s directorial debut is a strange brew. There are echoes here of ’70s series like The Changes, and experimental dramas of the early ’80s. Years And Years too.
The plot is easy to describe: when civil unrest erupts around Port Talbot’s steelworks, Wales is sealed off, and a family go on the run after collectively becoming public enemy number one.
