Gillian Anderson's Return to the Small Screen
After her acclaimed roles in "The Crown" and "The Fall," Gillian Anderson is back with a new PBS drama, "Trespasses." Set in the tumultuous 1970s in Northern Ireland, the series explores a forbidden love story amidst rising tensions and violence. Anderson plays Gina, the alcoholic mother of Cushla (Lola Petticrew), a Catholic schoolteacher who falls for a married Protestant barrister, Michael (Tom Cullen). As the synopsis teases, Cushla is torn between duty and desire, family and freedom. With a stellar cast and a compelling storyline, "Trespasses" promises to be a must-watch.
