Like Father, Like Son is a British television crime drama series first broadcast on ITV from 24 to 25 January 2005.
The two-part serial stars Robson Green and Jemma Redgrave as the would-be step-father and mother of a young boy who is suspected of a murder of a fellow school pupil, after meeting with his father for the first time since his incarceration for a quadruple murder.
Richard Scheib of the New Zealand Horror and Fantasy Film Review said of the series;[3] "For a relatively novice screenwriter, Shaun McKenna does an excellent job.
Shaun McKenna even writes a scene that quite takes one aback, which offers up an interpretation of the strangling of Desdemona in Shakespeare’s Othello in terms of sexual jealousy.
There is a nicely written scene where Jemma Redgrave goes to see him and pleads for him to leave their son alone, only to be rebuffed with the nasty suggestion that he is entitled to conjugal visits."
