Through twists and turns and a shocking love triangle, this sexy, elevated thriller asks: What if you woke up one day and didn't know your own secrets?
G'wed
G'wed delves into the working class culture of "surviving with a sense of humour".

From Reece, the anti-hero at the heart of the show, a superficially misbehaving, potty-mouthed lad, who constantly surprises, whether that be quoting Mother Teresa, his knowledge of the work of John Steinbeck or his incredibly mature take on grief, to Aimee - ferociously determined, go-getting and emotionally mature – G'wed showcases a part of the country, and a bunch of characters, that you rarely see on TV.
