The 7.39 (A Television Review)
The 7.39 (2014) might have first aired over a decade ago, but its emotional resonance and masterful storytelling have only solidified its place as a BBC classic. Adapted from the novel by David Nicholls, this drama starring David Morrissey as Carl Matthews and Sheridan Smith as Sally Thorn delves into the complexities of human relationships, the unexpectedness of life, and the choices that define us. In an era where many shows push boundaries with sensationalism, The 7.39 manages to balance the racy with the respectful, delivering a nuanced and emotionally intelligent narrative that still feels timeless.
