Ray & Liz
Drama
On the outskirts of Birmingham and the margins of society the Billingham family perform extreme rituals and break social taboos as they muddle through a life decided by factors beyond their control. At times shocking and laced with an unsettling humor, three episodes unfold as a powerful evocation of the experience of growing up in a Black Country council flat.
VIBE
A stark, unflinching look at a dysfunctional family in 1980s Britain. It's a raw, often uncomfortable, but strangely compelling dive into working-class life, marked by bleakness and moments of dark, unexpected humor.
