Remember how I've said umpteen times that we don't need anymore book-to-TV adaptations? Well, I take it all back – new Channel 4 drama Trespasses, based on the novel by Louise Kennedy, has knocked it out of the park.
The series is set in 1970s Ireland, a country deep in the grip of The Troubles. Cushla (Lola Petticrew) is a primary school teacher who picks up shifts in her family pub on the side. One night while working, she meets Michael (Tom Cullen), a married lawyer who advocates for both nationalists and unionists.
