It’s not often that we see a young artist create, produce and star in a television series like Mood. Nicôle Lecky plays a young girl seeking to be a singer but gets caught up in unfortunate circumstances like drugs, sex work and mental health. Mood has  musical sequences as part of the storyline. 

The Synopsis

Sasha Clayton (Nicôle Lecky, “Sense 8”) dreams of becoming a major recording artist, but right now she’s a bedroom artist: spending her days smoking weed and stalking her ex-boyfriend (Jordan Duvigneau, “My Mum Tracy Beaker”) on Instagram. When she is kicked out of her family home for drunkenly trying to burn her ex’s house down, Sasha becomes homeless and is forced to fend for herself, sofa-surfing with local drug dealer Saleem (Mohammad Dalmar). Everything seems to change when she meets and moves in with Instagram influencer and party girl Carly (Lara Peake, “Brave New World”), who introduces her to the exciting world of making money and becoming ‘famous’ on social media. But as the gap between her online presence and her dream of being a singer continues to grow, Sasha finds herself struggling to escape this new influencer world that is more complex and darker than she could have imagined. 

Check out a clip from the new episode airing tomorrow where Carly breaks the news that they are not on the holiday they had anticipated.

Mood can be seen on BBC America and can be streamed on AMC+
