Calling all Martin Clunes fans! The Doc Martin star has racked up an impressive CV of dramas and thrillers over the course of his decades-long acting career, from the much-loved medical drama Doc Martin to the chilling, true story-inspired detective thriller, Manhunt. But did you know that back in 2012, Martin teamed up with the likes of Cold Feet star Hermione Norris and Annika‘s Nicola Walker in a riveting two-part crime drama, A Mother’s Son, on ITV? In case the series has gone under the radar for fans who didn’t catch it upon its initial release, here’s everything you need to know, including how to watch it.

What is A Mother’s Son about?

The miniseries follows mother-of-two Rosie, who faces a horrifying dilemma when she suspects her son could be responsible for the murder of a teenage schoolgirl in their quiet Suffolk coastal village. The drama follows Rosie (Hermione Norris) as she discovers damning evidence that her son could be connected to the heinous murder after a body is found in the woods near their town.

The synopsis continues: “Recently remarried, Rosie lives with her two children, Jamie and Olivia, husband Ben Harley, and his children from a previous marriage, Jessica and Rob. As the newly formed family settle into daily life living together under one roof, Rosie begins to suspect she may be sharing her home with a killer when she finds a pair of blood-splattered trainers hidden under her son Jamie’s bed. At first, Rosie tries to dismiss her suspicions, believing them too incomprehensible to be true. Could her teenage boy be involved in murder?”
