Channel 4 is now streaming a gripping drama that viewers 'highly recommend.'
Originally broadcast on the BBC in 2018, Come Home has made its return to streaming. The limited series, consisting of just three parts, won over audiences with its touching storyline.
Penned by Danny Brocklehurst, who is recognised for his work on Netflix's Fool Me Once, the programme explores the challenges of single parenthood.
The narrative centres around Greg Farrell, a father of three portrayed by Doctor Who's Christopher Eccleston. His world is turned upside down when his wife of nineteen years, Marie, abruptly leaves their family.
Audiences accompany Greg as he seeks to uncover the truth behind Marie's sudden departure, gradually discovering more about the seemingly innocent father's own involvement in her leaving, reports Belfast Live.

The series was created by the same production company responsible for popular dramas Happy Valley and Ordinary Lies, with BAFTA nominee Andrea Harkin at the helm as director.
Eccleston shares the spotlight with Northern Irish actress Paula Malcomson, recently seen in Mayor of Kingstown.
Upon its initial release, the three-hour series received glowing reviews from critics, securing an impressive 90% Rotten Tomatoes score based on ten reviews.
Casual viewers were equally captivated by the drama. "An absolutely-wonderful start to finish nothing else will occupy your thoughts except the lives of all these well-written beautifully-acted characters," praised an IMDb user.
The same fan continued: "It's just terrific. Even knowing the ending when watching again it is still as strong. A production to always remain one of the best of its genre."
