On the surface, has it all \u2014 a loving spouse, the French-born Olivier (Michiel Huisman), a fancy house in an exclusive neighborhood and two young boys who idolize their dad and tell mom (or mum, it\u2019s set in England) that they love her when she drops them off for school.<\/p>\n<p>Or does she? The six-part series, premiering Monday (Feb. 7), is billed as a \u201cspellbinding thriller\u201d for a reason. We learn, quickly, that Olivier is a jealous, narcissistic monster. He beats Angela senseless over some imagined slight after a dinner party at their house \u2014 \u201cYou wanted to embarrass me!\u201d he yells at her (she didn\u2019t) \u2014  knocking out one of her front teeth and leaving her face bruised and bloodied. <\/p>\n<p>Angela, who works part-time at a dog shelter, hides her physical wounds with a lot of makeup and covers up the truth about beastly Olivier with a string of lies \u2014 both to herself (she took him back after he fractured her ribs four months earlier) and to anyone who asks about her black-and-blue face (she says she ran into a door). His \u201capology\u201d is leaving her a bunch of cash under her pillow a la the tooth fairy. Yikes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/20220124-mc0n.jpeg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=683\" alt=\"Photo of Michiel Huisman and Joanne Froggatt as Olivier and Angela.

But there\u2019s more to the story: Ed does not want to help Olivier \u2014 he feels badly for Angela, and he\u2019s got his (sketchy) principles, after all \u2014 and he tells her, elliptically, about Olivier\u2019s sordid past. \u201cYour husband is a piece of s\u2013t,\u201d he says, gives her a burner phone and reveals that Olivier had a mistress from his workplace who vanished and is presumed dead.

Ed steers Angela toward more incriminating evidence vis-a-vis Olivier, the boys\u2019 white rabbit is mauled by a fox (or is it?) \u2026 and it gets ugly. Really ugly.<\/p>\n<p>The series has an excellent creative pedigree; it\u2019s written by Emmy-winning producers and screenwriters Harry and Jack Williams (\u201cThe Missing,\u201d \u201cFleabag\u201d) and Froggatt (resolute),  Huisman (chilling) and Adewunmi (regretful for past deeds) play their roles to the hilt. Heartily recommended for all and, if you\u2019re a fan of, those Lifetime \u201cWoman in Jeopardy\u201d movies, consider this one a notch above that melodramatic franchise.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
