Today is the release of Spectrum’s new six-episode psychological thriller limited series, Angela Black. When we meet Angela, we see that she is, unfortunately, a victim of domestic violence. But as we get to know her we see that despite the abuse, she still attempts to live a normal life with her husband. Something that sadly is a reality in many women’s life. But for Angela, things get a lot more dangerous when she meets a private investigator that warns her that her husband has secrets that can cost her life.

With the release of Angela Black today on Spectrum, LRM Online’s Emmanuel Gomez spoke with the two lead stars of the series Joanne Froggatt and Samuel Adewunmi. They share with us the state of both of their characters. For Joanne, she tells us about Angela’s abusive relationship, and how she prepared for the role. Samuel told us about Ed and the reasons why he thinks that he decided to help Angela, after working for her husband before. It was a great conversation that you can check out down below!

Here is the synopsis for Angela Black

Angela’s life appears idyllic. A lovely house in suburban London, days working volunteer shifts at a dog shelter, two beautiful sons and a charming, hard-working husband – Olivier. However, beneath this façade of charmed domesticity, Angela is a victim of domestic violence. Olivier is controlling and brutal. But Angela loves him and he’s the father of her children. She covers her bruises with make- up and fabricates lies to explain away her missing teeth. Until, one day, Angela is approached by Ed, a Private Investigator. He smashes her already strained domestic life to pieces. Ed reveals Olivier’s deepest secrets to Angela, and she is faced with horrifying truths about her husband and his betrayals being forced to take matters into her own hands.
