A wedding brings the four stories together.

An explosive series from the team behind BAFTA-winning global hit Doctor Foster. Created by multi-award-winning writer Mike Bartlett, Life explores the human capacity for connection in an increasingly splintered society. In Manchester, England, the residents of a large suburban house go about their very different lives. The walls that divide their flats keep them apart. But life has a way of bringing people together. Like all ordinary lives, theirs are filled with the extraordinary. And as their stories begin to intersect, hidden secrets connect these characters in ways that could never have been anticipated.
