Trauma


Two of my favourite actors go head-to-head in this one-off drama. It’s a tale of honesty meets privilege as both men battle to retain their status. There’s little physical violence and sometimes the plot does move a little slow. It would have been good to see Jon having a few conversations with colleagues to create more of a conspiracy against Dan. It’s also too close to call as to whether Dan becomes psychotic with his obsession to destroy Jon; or whether he is genuinely grieving as we don’t learn much about him before the stabbing. However, he does doubt himself when he goes to visit the psychiatrist. It’s also a shame that Jon loses his bottle towards the end and becomes honest. Perhaps he folded over the pressure top protect his family. I think it’s great that Dan’s original physical trauma becomes a mental trauma for Jon. Perhaps there could be a sequel where tries to get even?
