Tonight’s television line-up includes a new supernatural horror drama on Sky Atlantic, where Gugu Mbatha-Raw plays a British lawyer named Claudia. She travels to Jamaica to dispute an inheritance regarding a former plantation. The property was left by Oliver Connaught’s father to a mysterious figure, Cudjoe East, prompting Oliver’s questions. Once Claudia arrives, she experiences hauntings and visions of the estate’s past. The episode is described as a slow-burn with hints of action to come.
