Sherwood

Set in a Nottinghamshire mining village, 'Sherwood' explores the deep-seated divisions left in the wake of the 1984–1985 miners' strike. The narrative is sparked by two shocking and tragic killings that shatter the already fractured community, bringing old tensions bubbling to the surface and triggering a massive manhunt. As local police forces, led by detectives Ian St. Clair and Kevin Salisbury, try to navigate the complex web of historic grievances, political undercurrents, and family secrets, the series paints a haunting portrait of a town still haunted by its industrial past. Created by James Graham, the series delves into the long-lasting impact of state surveillance, community betrayal, and the lingering animosity between former strikers and those who crossed the picket line. As the investigation deepens, it reveals how past traumas continue to poison present-day relationships, forcing the residents to confront both the crimes of the present and the ghosts of their history.
