The English series, produced by Line of Duty and executive produced by Wynette Robinson (Sherlock), Eva Morgan and Warren Brown, was broadcast last month on Channel 4 and will be seen in France in the coming months (although no broadcaster has yet been announced). .

It follows Kelly, an elite gymnast at odds with her privileged teammates and their ultra-ambitious parents in the controlling environment of competitive sports. But it also thrives among a carefree and free-spirited group of urban runners.

When Kelly is violently attacked at an illegal beach, both groups of teenagers and their parents are equally suspicious. As their divergent lives unravel in the search for Kelly’s attacker, this multi-faceted story shines a light on today’s parental surveillance. Is it the duty and right of parents to invest too much in their children, or is it better to let them run free?
