Sky's new supernatural thriller, Possession, is a captivating five-part series that has viewers enthralled. The show, created by Karla Crome, follows high-flying lawyer Claudia (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) as she travels to Jamaica to challenge an inheritance claim. But this is no ordinary legal battle; the estate in question is the Connaught family's former plantation, Hope Hill, which has been haunting Claudia's nightmares. As Claudia and the wealthy white aristocrat Oliver Connaught (Jonny Lee Miller) investigate, they uncover a chilling connection between historical horrors and present-day injustices, blending shadowy intrigue with the vibrant energy of the Caribbean. The star-studded cast, including Shantol Jackson, Bel Powley, and Nadean Rawlins, delivers compelling performances that keep viewers engaged. The series has received high praise from both viewers and critics, with many praising its ambitious genre-bending and its exploration of important themes. The Guardian awarded it three stars, describing it as a 'well-textured, evocative tale touching on many important questions, if never quite digging down far enough into any of them to be truly satisfying.' The Times and Telegraph also gave it three stars, with one viewer writing, 'I watched this last night, and I absolutely loved it. A great miniseries.' Another added, 'I loved this! We need more stories like this.' Possession is available to watch on Sky and NOW, and it promises plenty of twists, horror, and a chilling mystery that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. In my opinion, Possession is a must-watch for anyone looking for a thrilling and thought-provoking series that confronts the enduring legacy of colonialism in a unique and captivating way.
