This limited series (only four episodes total) is a Scottish-Australian production, and is quite good! It's twisty, somewhat dark, yet captivating...a story about a couple who deals with an unfathomable family tragedy, while in the midst of traveling to Australia to visit family. They come under the public eye and face persistent scrutiny, as they start falling into a psychological pit of despair.
The performances are all so convincing, gut-wrenching, and so much is packed into four episodes! Jenna Coleman is spectacular as ''Joanna'' the main character. You may find yourself watching it twice, after you put all of the moving parts together, the first time.

Will add it to our "Australian stuff to binge on" later this year.
Noticing elsewhere what the tragedy seems to revolve around (while surely minus a wild dog factor), the first thing that popped into my mind was the Meryl Streep moment below. That was made even more famous by Elaine on "Seinfeld" mocking it.

A while back I must have started to watch 'The Cry' - on your suggestion I looked at it again and it picked up where I left off - with a girl crying - so I stopped watching it (again). There should be an 'Emotional content' warning at the start of these things - in fairness 'The Cry' turned out to be fair representation of the content.

Lol ^
True, but interestingly I didn’t cry myself watching this series. The investigation (the main point of the plot) is very gripping, and eventually the crying stops lol

Hopefully soon. Even though it's only four episodes (perhaps the length of "Zack Synder's Justice League" when combined), I'm having a devil of a time getting anything squeezed in between hubby's binge-watching of "exalted" stuff like Killjoys, the last six episodes of The Walking Dead's tenth season, and Lucifer season 5b. Not to mention he finally wants to see all seven seasons of Bosch when that concludes a bit later. Sheesh. Thank goodness the sixth season of "Better Call Saul" is delayed till next year.
EDIT: Just finished the first episode.

Finished the 3rd episode. Though it seems pretty clear-cut, now, might be a lingering twist in the 4th.
