A slow, intimate period drama of tangled affections and artistic ambition, more felt than plotted, with a quiet ache underneath.

Tagline: The tangled loves of the Bloomsbury Group.
Overview: The three-part series centres on the close and often fraught relationship between sisters Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf, and Vanessa’s sexually complicated alliance with gay artist Duncan Grant as they, and their group of like-minded friends, navigate their way through love, sex and artistic life through the first half of the 20th century.
How it feels: Melancholic, romantic, earnest and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Love, art, sexuality, family
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
