After the Party is Channel 4's latest import, with the New Zealand drama receiving acclaim from critics and viewers alike - with one reviewer calling it "best TV drama in years".
The story follows a woman whose world is rocked when her ex-husband - who she accused of assaulting their daughter's friend - returns to town, denying that he ever did anything wrong.
The show has an impressive cast, starring real-life couple Rings of Power star Peter Mullan and Black Bird actress Robyn Malcolm, and fans have taken to social media to discuss the show - with many complimenting Robyn's incredible performance as a woman losing courage in her conviction.
"The first ep of #AfterTheParty is an incredible example of both establishing a clearly defined character in the opening moments & starting the story right off the back of that," one person wrote. "It feels grounded, mature with a lived in perf from Robyn Malcolm- looking forward to see where it goes."
