TV fans can’t get enough of the new drama, I, Jack Wright, with some viewers immediately hooked, while others spent “all day” binge-watching the series.
The six-part series, which comes from Unforgotten creator Chris Lang, is billed as a “propulsive, darkly comic and moving” drama with plenty of “twists and turns”.
It focuses on the events that follow the death of successful businessman Jack Wright from an apparent suicide. He leaves behind him a final will that sends shock waves through his family as it’s revealed that his third wife, Sally, and two sons, Gray and John, have been largely cut out of Jack’s enormous fortune.
It’s safe to say that the series has gone down a storm with viewers, with one person hailing the drama as “the best new drama” in a long time.
