## Synopsis

Without You is a British three-episode mystery drama miniseries created by Charlotte Jones for ITV3, adapted from a novel. Anna Friel plays Ellie Manning, a wife whose beloved husband Greg Manning (Marc Warren) dies in a car accident that also claims the life of an unknown woman riding with him. Grief quickly becomes suspicion as Ellie pushes past the polite explanations offered by friends and officials, asking who the passenger was, whether her husband was having an affair, and whether the crash was really an accident. Each episode peels back another layer of domestic deception, with the household and its circle of friends becoming a place where every conversation hides a half-truth. The tone is intimate, melancholic and tense, with a steady emotional undercurrent of loss and betrayal rather than cheap shocks. Viewers who enjoy the emotional unraveling of The Affair, the British domestic intrigue of Broadchurch, and the grief-driven suspense of The Killing will find a similar pull. Its tight, self-contained structure makes it a focused, absorbing watch from start to finish.
