Allison McRoberts (Murphy) is married to self-centred and “lovable” cable guy Kevin (Eric Petersen, Kirstie), but after a dark discovery, Allison teams up with neighbour Patty O’Connor (Mary Hollis Inboden, The Righteous Gemstones) to take drastic measures to escape her confines and take control of her life. She’s going to kill Kevin. At the end of season one, Neil (Alex Bonifer, Superstore), Kevin’s best friend and neighbour – and Patty’s brother – learned of their murderous plan and vowed to blow their cover. Now, Allison and Patty scramble to deal with Neil, pushing Allison to find a better way out. As the series reaches its conclusion, Allison learns that Neil told Diane her secret so she searches for Neil before he can tell anyone else, especially Tammy.

Mood AMC+ Exclusive Season finale premieres Sunday 4 December with full season available to binge “Based on this series, it’s obvious that Lecky is a charismatic and versatile performer with a distinctive writing voice…” – The Hollywood Reporter “Mood never comes across as derivative.” – TIME Magazine Sasha Clayton (Nicôle Lecky) dreams of becoming a major recording artist, but right now she’s a bedroom artist: spending her days smoking weed and stalking her ex-boyfriend (Jordan Duvigneau, My Mum Tracy Beaker) on Instagram. When she is kicked out of her family home for drunkenly trying to burn her ex’s house down, Sasha becomes homeless and is forced to fend for herself, sofa-surfing with local drug dealer Saleem (Mohammad Dalmar). Everything seems to change when she meets and moves in with Instagram influencer and party girl Carly (Lara Peake, Brave New World), who introduces her to the exciting world of making money and becoming ‘famous’ on social media. But as the gap between her online presence and her dream of being a singer continues to grow, Sasha finds herself struggling to escape this new influencer world that is more complex and darker than she could have imagined. Based on her critically acclaimed Royal Court play Superhoe the series is told in part through the songs that Sasha creates and features an innovative original soundtrack performed by Lecky.
