This is the kind of drama Debbie Horsfield would knock out for BBC1 in the late nineties and early noughties. Even my wife said that the premise of the series reminded her of Cutting it. Instead of a hair salon in Manchester, this is based in a beauty salon in Manchester. It even seems to have few of the same actors.
After Horsfield's success in rebooting Poldark, I guess the BBC felt obliged to let her recycle some old scripts.
At least the underwhelming and derivative first episode did steal some plot from Shakespeare's Othello. Robson Green plays Teddy, manipulating the break up of his sister in law's marriage as has always wanted her for himself.
