There’s plenty of top telly hitting our small screens already this year, But one that’s already made quite the splash is haunting four-part series, Platform 7.The supernatural psychological thriller, which landed on ITV last month, is adapted from the 2019 book of the same name by Louise Doughty, and has left viewers who binge-watched the show traumatised.The premise of the show, says ITV, is: "A suicide on Platform 7 prompts a woman and a Transport Police officer to investigate the details surrounding her death." The nail-biting series stars brilliant Top Boy actress Jasmine Jobson (she played the much-loved Jaq since 2019) as school teacher, Lisa, who witnesses an earth-shattering event on, yes, platform seven of a railway station.
Just a few scenes in we realise Lisa is, well, not alive anymore. Soon, she discovers there is a link between her own life and the shocking event she just witnessed.Thus begins a creepy journey of discovery as Lisa and PC Akash, played by Yaamin Chowdhury, continue to track down clues about her death as Akash receives an unexpected lead and Lisa a pretty spine-tingling breakthrough.
It all begins to become clear when Lisa gets a less than pleasant flashback to the start of her relationship with controlling doctor boyfriend Matt (Toby Regbo) - one which not only gives key clues as to the state of her mental health, but also to exactly what eventually played out With more clues in their arsenal, it’s a race against time for Akash to gather enough evidence for Lisa's case, as the teacher sets out both to protect someone and get the justice she now realises she deserves.
