'The Cry': Fans on Twitter prepare Sundance Now audience for the BBC One show which comes to the US on Nov 8
Sundance Now has been teasing fans with its upcoming show 'The Cry', and those who have already watched the show on BBC One where it aired in October, are putting forward their views and opinions about the Jenna Coleman starring show. Based on Helen Fitzgerald's 2013 titular novel, the Glendyn Ivin directed-show follows the plight of young mother Joanna who finds herself in the middle of an international media circus when her baby boy, Noah, is abducted.
Joanna was an extremely difficult character, and with her continuous fall into the darkest pits of postpartum depression, she is left alone to deal with everything that was going on — from her son's abduction to her husband, Alistair's (played by Ewen Leslie) fatal flaw. Fans have praised Coleman whose baby face was the most fitting for the character. Coleman's subtle expressions and her soft pace in developing the character gave Joanna ample space to be a relatable character despite her unusual struggles as a mother.
