THE SOUTH WESTERLIES (Acorn TV Original series, Commissioned) - Binge premiere

Trailer

This picturesque Irish drama stars Orla Brady (American Horror Story: 1984, Into the Badlands, Star Trek: Picard) as a single working mom and environmental consultant who has to go undercover among protesters to quash objections to a Norwegian-owned offshore wind farm earmarked for a small town on the southwest coast of Ireland. It's not just the spectacular scenery that's under pressure. For this straight-talking Dublin woman tasked to bring the project home for a lucrative promotion, her eco-battle is complicated by the reappearance of a crinkly-eyed surfer with a striking resemblance to her teenage son, as well as the emergence of old secrets she's keeping under wraps. This heartwarming series features an ensemble of acclaimed actors including Brady (as leading character Kate Ryan), Eileen Walsh (Catastrophe, The Magdalene Sisters), Patrick Bergin (Sleeping With The Enemy, Patriot Games), Ger Ryan (Little Dog, Rialto), Steve Wall (Raised by Wolves, The Witcher) and Porscha Cusack (A Discovery of Witches.) (6 EPS, 2020)
