What is the cry about?

The Cry is a brilliant, gobsmacking drama, empowering the audience by taking away the liberation of perspective, balancing our natural response to emotionally feel the tragedy by forcing us to rationalise it. This extraordinary, moving production is sure to be one of television events of the year.

Is the cry worth watching?

The Cry wasn't given a huge deal of publicity, it kind of got lost amongst snappier dramas, such as Bodyguard, and Killing Eve.
