'The Cry' actress Jenna Coleman receives high praise from fans on social media for her "amazing" performance

Coleman is a fan favorite after her role as Joanna in BBC 1's 'The Cry', and Twitter is a standing proof that the show is a hit among viewers.

Jenna Coleman played the role of a young mother who struggles with the aftermath of childbirth in BBC 1's adaptation of Helen Fitzgerald's 2013 novel, 'The Cry'. Starring as the protagonist Joanna, Coleman portrayed the darker side of motherhood that everybody encounters but no one actually speaks about. Dealing with postpartum depression Joanna finds herself ensnared by the dark side of motherhood, something she wasn't prepared for, and things get worse when she has to go to Australia with her husband Alistair, played by Ewen Leslie, who wants to regain custody of his 10-year-daughter from his previous marriage.
