Stonehouse is a darkly comic drama about British MP John Stonehouse, who faked his own death in Miami in 1974 to escape financial and political scandals. The three-part series follows Stonehouse as he attempts to start a new life while his wife Barbara and mistress Sheila deal with the aftermath of his disappearance. When his plan unravels and he's arrested in Australia, the series explores the absurdity of his scheme and its impact on his family. Starring Matthew Macfadyen and Keeley Hawes, the show balances political satire with genuine human drama about a man who destroyed everything trying to escape his problems.
