Am I Being Unreasonable? (BBC)

Dissatisfied in her marriage and lacking confidants, Nicole keeps having flashbacks to an horrific accident in which she lost someone she loved. She strikes up a friendship with newcomer Jen, who has a troubled background and is not quite what she seems. As the short series unfolds, we discover more about each woman’s secrets, eliciting both sympathy and condemnation. We also follow Nic’s discovery of the fate of her missing cat, a tale that travels the gamut from comedy to horror. The tone gets darker with each revelation and sympathies shift and slowly dissipate until the final shock twist ending. Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli co-wrote this disturbing tragi-comedy in which they play the damaged and damaging lead characters. There will apparently be a second season, although it is difficult to imagine where it could go.
