"The plain truth! This no frills British mini is lean and mean. Hard-headed Susan McIntyre (Jodie Whittaker) gives birth to Connor who has a deformed hand. The culprit is believed to be the local steel mill which mishandles its toxic waste. It turns out that other newborns suffered similarly, so an epic legal battle ensues, similar to Erin Brockovich. The bond between Susan and Connor is very touching, and I loved seeing the servile Mr. Bates (Brendan Coyle) from Downton as a corporate warrior. Toxic Town snags outrageously high reviews on streaming apps, which shows that fancy effects do not always matter. "
"An incredible limited series.
It depicts the story of a town where many children were born with limb differences and other medical abnormalities during a certain time frame. Once a group of woman find out they are not the only ones with children hurting from this, they band together to seek justice from the company at fault.
This has wonderful acting, and writing. I recommend this thoroughly. "
