Curfew (2024 TV series)
Veteran police officer Pamela Green (Sarah Parish) suspects that a man is responsible for the crime, despite the curfew - which requires all men to be tagged and monitored during restricted hours.Partnering with her new colleague Eddie (Mitchell Robertson), Pamela faces skepticism from both the public and her superiors, who believe the curfew system makes it impossible for a man to be involved.John Adams is the producer, Joasia Goldyn is the director, whilst Lydia Yeoman is lead writer alongside Jess Green and Sumerah Srivastav.[8] Writing in the Guardian, Lucy Mangan gave the series three stars out of five, saying that it was "decent thriller fare" but its worldbuilding was "disappointingly sketchy" and left "far too many unanswered questions", including that of male violence committed during daytime hours or in a domestic setting.Power queried the lack of any reference to daytime or domestic violence, and also noted the "superhuman levels of suspension of disbelief" needed to accept that men were "such a danger to society that they have to be put under house arrest each sundown" while simultaneously "the patriarchy has apparently been subjugated to the point where legislators can force men to remain indoors", but ultimately he found that it was "still refreshing to see a series use speculative fiction to explore issues around everyday misogyny" and the question of women's nighttime safety.
