Tonight ABC premieres a 3 part UK psychological thriller Exile, that tells a story of prodigal redemption, as a son returns to his hometown to reconnect with his father and learn the truth about what happened between them years before.

Featuring a notable cast including Jim Broadbent, John Simm and Olivia Colman this is a few years old (it was produced in 2011) but received mostly-positive reviews.

This three-part psychological thriller tells the story of Tom Ronstadt, a successful London journalist whose world has fallen apart. With his career and life in ruins, Tom flees London and returns to his hometown for the first time in 18 years to find his father Sam in the grip of Alzheimer’s. Once a formidable man and Tom’s childhood hero, Sam is now being cared for by Tom’s younger sister, Nancy.

As Tom begins to unravel the mystery that drove him away all those years ago, he becomes increasingly frustrated with his father’s failure to remember. Tom persists, unaware that he is unearthing a devastating crime that will reveal secrets he could never have imagined.

9.30pm Monday January 4 on ABC.

  1. Yeah, saw this on UKTV back in January 2012, if you enjoy these sorts of brooding, meaty UK drama mini series you’ll really appreciate this.
