Massive early series shout for
Black Cake. An eight-episode adaptation of the novel of the same name. Part drama, part mystery thriller, it follows two siblings who try to unravel the secrets in her recently deceased mother’s life when they are given a series of sound recordings from her narrating events in her life.
Great first episode, and massive reviews across the board.
This highly intelligent, skilful novel adaptation might tackle heavy themes around race, grief and gender, but it’s an elegant, striking watch, featuring scenes with exquisite period costuming
