The Norman Conquests

1977 · 1 season

A squirm-inducing weekend of forced politeness where every cheerful remark hides a barb, and you watch through your fingers.

Overview: The trilogy presents a comically fraught weekend from three different perspectives, as family and in laws gather at the decaying country home of their bedridden mother; the drink flows, and hidden enmities, intimate secrets and uncomfortable truths emerge through the veneer of jollity and civility.
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, absurd and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Family, deception, betrayal, love
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
