Co-created by Dennis Kelly (Utopia), this tense mix of mystery, thriller and drama is divided into two parts. In the first half, a man (Jude Law from The New Pope) visits a mysterious island off the British coast and discovers a group of inhabitants intent on preserving their home at any cost. In the second half, a strong-willed outsider (Naomie Harris) comes to the island seeking answers — but instead triggers a battle to decide its fate.

Time praised the six-part HBO thriller as “a riveting psychological thriller and a stunning showcase for Jude Law…eerily beautiful.”

New episodes arrive weekly on DStv and on Showmax.
