Sensitive Skin
Bittersweet comedy about a 61-year-old former model trying to cope with life in London.
Series 1
Affluent couple Al and Davina Jackson live in metropolitan London. Along with their friends, Al and Davina struggle with sexual temptation, professional jealousy and their fear of the future. Al is a pundit for a broadsheet newspaper and is paid to find imperfection in everything, while Davina works in an art gallery and is paid to make life more beautiful. But being 60 isn't simple: the couple's 30-year-old son, Orlando, refuses to acknowledge adulthood, and Davina's sister, Veronica, and her husband, Roger, intimidate the Jacksons with their confident and controlled grasp of life.
Series 2
Davina attempts to start her life again, six months after a tragedy. She embarks on a journey to rediscover personal happiness, but her efforts are hampered by the difficulties she faces in coping with grief alone. Moreover, Veronica blames her for everything she can, while Roger faces trial for a financial crime he didn't commit.
