Noami Watts. There you go. Get excited.

Ok, if you want a bit more... Watts is leading this psychological thriller, created by Lisa Rubin, playing Jean Holloway, a therapist who begins to develop dangerous and intimate relationships with the people in her patients’ lives.

Sam Taylor-Johnson (Nowhere Boy, 50 Shades...) is directing the first two episodes, with Sean Jablonski (Suits) serving as co-showrunner alongside Rubin. Watts got early breaks in TV - both in Australia with Home and Away, and the US in Sleepwalkers - but she's very much established herself as a talented film actress since starring in David Lynch's Mulholland Dr. back in 2001, with 2 Oscar nominations to her name.

She's the main draw here, especially in this early stage, and the chance to see her sink her teeth into a complex character over 10 hours or so is an enticing prospect.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
