Playing Nice

AudienceAudience: 6.9

Set against the sweeping Cornish coastline, two couples learn their toddlers were swapped at birth in a hospital mix-up. Now they must face a horrifying choice: keep the sons they’ve raised with love, or try to reclaim their biological child.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy Playing Nice if you like tense British drama with a parent’s nightmare at its center and lots of moral pressure; Not for you if you need light, predictable viewing like Malpractice or Behind Her Eyes.
