Angela Black series one consists of six episodes, and this weekend will mark the third instalment in the thriller. The first two episodes have introduced viewers to Angela, a wife who, on the surface, has the perfect family life, but under the surface, she's hiding a secret.

Angela, who is being abused at the hands of her husband, Olivier, played by The Flight Attendant and Game of Thrones star Michiel Huisman, begins to realise that she needs to escape her marriage and the grips of Olivier.

She then meets a mysterious stranger, Ed, played by Samuel Adewunmi, who tells her that Olivier has hired him to spy on her for his divorce proceedings, but soon has a change of mind and begins to help her and forces her to take action. We're intrigued about what's in store for the remaining four episodes.
