In the new ITV thriller series “Coldwater,” Andrew Lincoln stars as John, a family man moving to the seemingly idyllic Scottish town, where dark secrets lurk. John befriends neighbor Tommy, played by Ewen Bremner, while his wife Fiona (Indira Varma) grows suspicious of their intense bond. The six-episode series, written by David Ireland, explores themes of masculinity and repression as John’s suppressed rage leads to disastrous outcomes. Despite its unsettling nature, the series contains humor, balancing dark moments with comedic elements. Lincoln’s return to British television showcases a compelling narrative of ordinary life turned sinister.
