What is The Ex-Wife about?
Two’s company but three’s very much a crowd for Tasha in this addictive new four-part British drama.
Tasha’s supposedly happy life with rich, handsome husband Jack and their baby daughter Emily is plagued by the constant presence of Jack’s needy, over-familiar ex-wife Jen.
Understandably, Tasha wants Jen out of their lives for good, but despite her pleas to Jack to tell Jen to back off, it seems the pesky ex is unable to get the message.
And then, one day, a terrifying event confirms Tasha’s worst fears.
