Also here to big up Will Sharpe in Giri/Haji. I think it was an early lockdown binge for me and it is beautifully and inventively told (I’m sure it annoyed me at points but can’t remember what they were now). He also wrote/directed/was in (either/all) Landscapers, a recent ish crime drama with David Thewlis and Olivia Colman that was nothing like a crime drama, which I also recommend, and dark/strange/beautiful Flowers from a few years ago.
As you haven’t seen the husband in anything else, I would 100% recommend watching him in Giri/Haji, a detective drama set in London and Tokyo, where he plays a sex worker who gets caught up in gang warfare. Steals every scene he’s in and deservedly won a BAFTA for it. He’s probably better than the show as a whole but I was disappointed when it wasn’t renewed for a second season.

Also VERY MUCH HERE for any Liam Williams chat.
Just had a look and I went to school with one of the guys in Flowers! This all sounds great, thanks Hannah

I've been meaning to Giri/Haji so I now have a reason. Thanks Stephen!
