The Casual Vacancy (2015)

In the seemingly serene town of Pagford, the sudden passing of Parish Councilman Barry Fairbrother (Rory Kinnear) sends shockwaves reverberating through the community. Beneath its picturesque veneer of cobblestone market squares and ancient abbeys, Pagford conceals a simmering cauldron of conflict. It's a battleground where the affluent clash with the impoverished, teenagers rebel against their elders, spouses wage wars against each other, and educators lock horns with their students. Barry's untimely death leaves a vacant seat in the parish council, turning it into a flashpoint that ignites the town's biggest upheaval yet. As an election to fill the void ensues, the town becomes a theatre of fervor, deceit, and startling truths. The question remains - who will emerge victorious in this tumultuous battle for power and prestige?

The Casual Vacancy is a drama show featuring Michael Gambon and created by J.K. Rowling.
