My Take
Suranne Jones won me over with the raw fury of Doctor Foster, a betrayed wife rendered with a rare, dangerous intensity few actors can summon. She climbed from a Coronation Street regular to commanding leads in Gentleman Jack and Vigil, and her 2016 BAFTA for Best Actress feels entirely earned. There is an unpretentious, grounded quality to her, rooted perhaps in her Chadderton beginnings, that lends real blood to every role. Her long partnership with writer Sally Wainwright has produced some of British television's finest work. As a fan of UK drama, I consider anything with her name attached close to a safe bet.
