The Roses (15)

About the show

The Roses brings together two British stars, Olivia Colman as Ivy and Benedict Cumberbatch as Theo in a dark comedy about how fragile relationships can be.

Life seems easy for this picture-perfect couple: successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nosedives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment is ignited.

A reimagining of the 1989 classic film The War of the Roses, “A smart, wild, entertaining mix of droll British humour and glossy Hollywood film-making.” BBC.
