Though Stephen Graham is not a new or recently discovered actor by any stretch of the imagination, the Adolescence star and co-creator seems to finally be receiving his flowers as of late. He’s won awards and praise for his work on great shows like Boardwalk Empire and Save Me, but I don’t recall a time when he’s done as well as he’s doing now. A collection of Primetime Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and countless others give us plenty of reasons to celebrate his greatness and command of the screen.
All of that being said, there’s another role of Graham’s I want to talk about and think that everyone should check out. No, it’s not his work in the aforementioned Boardwalk Empire (it’s great, by the way) or his brief turn on Peaky Blinders, but instead a 2006 British drama that spawned a trio of unforgettable miniseries: This Is England.
