THE CRY
Sundance, 11:00 p.m. ET
This miniseries was shown already on Sundance’s streaming service, Sundance Now – and I reviewed it very positively then, because of both its clever mystery plot, and its spellbinding central performance by Jenna Coleman, who charmed me as Clara in Doctor Who, then wowed me as a young Queen Victoria in Victoria. Now the miniseries gets an encore showing on Sundance Channel itself, which should bring The Cry, deservedly, to a larger audience. Coleman plays a schoolteacher whose baby vanishes while she’s on vacation in Australia – but the facts, motivations, and twists are a lot more complicated than that.
