The Fear is an ambitious Channel 4 drama project, which digs beneath the surface of the seaside town of Brighton to expose the town's murky underworld, dominated by Peter Mullan's Richie Beckett, a crime boss battling dementia.
The dark and gloomy thriller tracks Richie's downfall across four nights this week, as his empire begins to crumble along with his mind after the arrival of Albanian gangsters on his patch.
Also boasting solid turns from the likes of Richard E Grant, Paul Nicholls and Harry Lloyd, The Fear is Boardwalk Empire for us Brits, with the added twist of having an enemy more destructive than any mobster.
THE TOWN
Wednesday 5th December

A family tragedy compels Sherlock's Andrew Scott to return to the town where he grew up in this new ITV drama, but things aren't exactly how he remembered them.
Ten years since he went away, his loved ones are now under the thumb of an alcoholic mayor, played by Martin Clunes, and someone keeps sending him texts saying "I know".
Needless to say this trip home will be one that ole Moriarty will never forget.
