OUR HOUSE

Post-divorce real-estate mystery

Screening: TVNZ 1, 9.00pm

Streaming: TVNZ OnDemand

The opening premise of Our House is strong and simple: mother-of-two Fi Lawson (Tuppence Middleton, Downton Abbey) comes home to find strangers moving into her house. It isn’t her house any more and the strangers are its new owners. Her estranged husband Bram (Martin Compston, Line of Duty) has gone missing along with their sons. From there, it’s customary ITV mystery fare, with the story – adapted in four parts from Louise Candlish’s bestselling novel – unfolding through flashbacks.
