Our House – this four-part drama/mystery from ITV follows a woman, Fi (Tuppence Middleton) who goes to her house after review days away only to find it is empty and another couple claims to have bought it and are in the process of moving in.
Unable to contact her estranged husband, Bram (Martin Compston), Fi has no idea what is happening or how she can stop it.
The miniseries is well written and performed, and I thought it was exactly the right length – there are secrets everywhere and they managed to snowball in a fashion which made the final episode better than the previous two. As the series shows events from the present day and 10 years previously, twin narrative structure is (probably intentionally) unsettling and disorientating and the way the story unfolds makes it very binge-worthy.
It's not the most original or best TV series I'll see this year, though it is one I recommend.
