T2 WHATS UP! November 6 - 12, 2022 TV FEATURE BY SARAH PASSINGHAM TV Media B reaking into the heav- ily saturated music in- dustry is no small feat, and for an aspiring musician, any shortcut must at least be considered. Exploring this opportunity, BBC Ameri- ca premieres the East London- set musical drama series "Mood" Sunday, Nov. 6 — it also streams on AMC+. In the series, Nicôle Lecky ("Sense8") plays Sasha Clay- ton, a 20-something woman contentiously living with her parents while pop star ambi- tions lead her to some pretty dark corners of the social me- dia sphere. Based on Lecky's one-woman show "Superhoe," which debuted at the Royal Court Theatre in 2019, "Mood" follows Sasha as she navigates the music industry via social media fame. The series begins in the af- termath of a disastrous night out. As Sasha wakes up at home, she desperately tries to piece the night together from the evidence she has — over 40 outgoing calls to an ex, a partially eaten meal she picked up on her way home, a terror-inducing voice note and smudges of soot on her hands. The anxiety of realiz- ing that the night before was a catastrophe is heightened by Sasha's relationship with her immediate family members, who have all grown tired of her antics. Her mother, Laura (Jessica Hynes, "Years and Years"), and stepfather, Kevin (Paul Kaye, "Year of the Rabbit"), no longer support her musical as- pirations, and Sasha and Kevin have a particularly tense rela- tionship — he is even roped into a physical fight between Sasha and her sister, Megan, (Mia Jenkins, "Hanna") at one point. Sasha soon finds herself kicked out of her parents' house and, without anywhere to live, begins leaning on ac- quaintances for a place to stay. It isn't long before she ends up in the orbit of influencer Carly Bentonville Acupuncture 5 x 5 continued on page T10 Nicôle Lecky in "Mood" Over exposed Did you know those images are available for purchase?
