SEE AIDAN TURNER IN
FIRST FIFTEEN-LOVE TV SERIES IMAGES FROM PRIME VIDEO
We are launching Monday with the first images arrived from Amazon's Prime Video new mini series FIFTEEN-LOVE which will air this summer set in the world of professional tennis. Led by Aidan Turner, the story examines themes of power, sex and ambition, within an international sporting industry worth over $2bn. Ellie Lily Hyland, Anna Chancellor, our boy Tom Varey, and Lorenzo Richelmy also star.
JUSTINE PEARCE WAS
the rising star of the tennis world. Her sudden
success aged 17 took her and her coach Glenn Lapthorn to the quarter
finals of the French Open. But, with the world watching, Justine's wrist
shattered and she crashed out. Five years later, Justine works at the
prestigious tennis academy where she once trained and has given up
competing for good. When Glenn returns to lead the academy, having
coached another player to Grand Slam victory, Justine struggles to cope.
Seeing Glenn achieve their shared dream pushes Justine into dangerous
and dysfunctional behaviour, culminating with her allegation to the
police that Glenn coerced her into a damaging psychosexual relationship,
which caused the dramatic collapse of her career. Justine's accusation
sets off earthquakes in the lives of all those around her, putting
reputations, careers and Justine’s own sanity on the line. As Wimbledon
approaches, our key players prepare for competition; but secrets, old
wounds and destructive sexual passion reach boiling point.
As the battle for the whole truth about Glenn and Justine's relationship
reaches its twisted climax, Fifteen-Love shines a light on the lines
between coaching and control, determination and obsession, love and
abuse.
I've never much been into tennis.
ReplyDeleteI can watch football, even F-1 race, but tennis...5 minutes and I am out LOL...but I guess this is more about drama rather than the sport.
ReplyDeletePeople in my country consider watching tennis a religious activity because our Novak has been number one worlds player for so many years, but I cannot stand him so I do not really watch it much or at all. I have never watched sports much in my life, just some athletics before. We are a sports nation and have been world champions in many different sports, but it does not move me much.
DeleteI'm not much into sports either, but golf and tennis are two that baffle me as to how people can watch them. So boring! The drama though, I could watch that LOL
ReplyDeleteSome tennis players are really hot so that helps when watching. Medvedev, world's number 3 currently, is, for example, very cute.
DeleteIndeed they are. I remember when Andre Agassi was drooled over by every housewife. And Jason had himself a little crush on Anna Kournikova in the early 2000's. Medvedev is cute. I think Naomi Osaka is adorable too.
DeleteOur Ana Ivanovic was hugely popular among the boys too around the world, especially when she was world's number one.
