Three adult siblings show that behind the veneer of middle-class Sussex life, what you see is not always what you get. When their recently widowed mother, Vivien, falls in love with a new man, Mark, and introduces him to Jake, Natalie and Helen, they greet him with a mix of excitement, optimism and outrage. Each of the siblings has their own personal problems and when they become suspicious that Mark could be after their inheritance, tensions rise and relationships within the family become challenged.

Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 10/07/2020
Watching these actors over the course of Flesh and Blood is consistently enjoyable... Alas, the story line, written by Sarah Williams, is a bit less compelling, as it goes through all the familiar moves to manipulate our assessment of the new boyfriend.

The appeal of the children's stories can't be overstated -- they're the essential strength of this drama, the core of its unfailing suspense. Go to Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail 10/01/2020
Flesh and Blood is a first-rate thriller, all twisty and featuring great performances. Go to Full Review Diane Pershing Malibu Times 10/19/2020
It's not great film-making, lacking something at its center, perhaps someone we can earnestly root for. But I'll tune in for the rest of the episodes, for sure. Go to Full Review Ani Bundel WETA 10/07/2020
Viewers are left to discern where the truth lies with these characters, all of whom are lying openly, lying covertly, or lying to themselves. Go to Full Review Sara Wallis Daily Mirror (UK) 03/03/2020
