Our Friends in the North

The read

The series ran 1 season across 9 episodes and has finished, so there is no cliffhanger risk.

Synopsis

Over the course of four decades, the personal lives of a quartet of Newcastle friends—Nicky, Geordie, Mary, and Tosker—intertwine with various political machinations, often for the worse: slum housing projects, police corruption, the rise of Thatcherism, political sleaze, and specific events like the 1984 Miners' Strike.
