Hollington Drive is a four part ITV television drama series that began broadcasting on 29 September 2021.
Created and written by Sophie Petzal, the series follows two sisters and their families as they grapple with the potential crime of their children.
[1][2] Two sisters, café chain owner Theresa (Anna Maxwell Martin) and primary school headteacher Helen (Rachael Stirling), are inseparable, living side-by-side with their families in well-to-do suburban Hollington Drive.
[3] Other filming locations are the Hang Fire Southern Kitchen restaurant in Barry (Wales) and Sanatorium Park (Cardiff).
[4] Ed Cumming of The Independent gave the first episode three out of five stars, questioning some of the tropes, but writing of Martin, "[she] is incapable of playing a scene without emotional intelligence, and brilliantly conveys a woman whose mind is racing to nightmarish conclusions while she maintains an appearance of calm", and Stirling, "a worthy foil to her, all patrician vowels and buttoned-up denial, in pronounced contrast to Theresa’s doom".
