Tense thriller show with MobLand star finds new streaming home

The six-part 'eminently watchable' thriller comes from the writers of hit shows The Assassin and The Missing.

Angela Black, the very tense thriller miniseries starring Joanna Froggatt (Downton Abbey, Liar, MobLand), has just been added to Paramount+.

The show focuses on Angela (Froggatt), a wife and mother of two, who is in an abusive relationship with her husband, Olivier (Michiel Huisman, The Haunting of Hill House).

TV Show Title	Angela Black
Where to Watch	Paramount+
Cast	Joanne Froggatt, Michiel Huisman, Samuel Adewunmi

One day, a mysterious man named Ed (Samuel Adewunmi, Secret Invasion) approaches Angela, claiming Olivier hired him to kill her. Angela and Ed then form an unlikely relationship and try to turn the tables on Angela's husband.

Angela Black was created by Harry and Jack Williams, the writing duo behind the hit shows The Assassin, Liar, The Missing, and The Tourist.

When it premiered on ITV back in 2021, their Joanne Froggatt-led thriller attracted millions of viewers and earned solid reviews.

You can read a sample of those positive critic write-ups below:

Publication	Quote
Financial Times	"Given all the hints and deflections, a lot rides on the performance of Samuel Adewunmi as the mysteriously omniscient Ed. Fortunately, he's terrific."
Globe and Mail	"If your taste runs to dark, slow-burning British thrillers, there's a good one to recommend. But be aware it has a serious theme, specifically domestic abuse and coercive control."
The Guardian	"It is Froggatt's performance that stops the story drifting into absurdity or becoming a trivialising, exploitative endeavour."
Radio Times	"Take away the car chases and elaborate murder plots, and this would still be an accomplished and powerful drama, and one that will resonate."
Sydney Morning Herald	"Downton Abbey's Joanne Froggatt stars in a dark but eminently watchable six-parter from prolific British brothers Harry and Jack Williams."
What She Said	"This follows the formula but Froggatt's nuanced performance raises the level of the WIP [women in peril] genre."
