Mood - General Discussion

[AnimeMania]

Mood is a 6 episode Musical Drama TV Series based on a one woman play called "Superhoe" and will air weekly on BBC America on November 6, 2022 at 10pm and the first 2 episodes stream on AMC+ in United States, Canada, and Australia, then weekly starting on November 6, 2022. Mood has already aired in the U.K. on BBC Three on March 1, 2022. 

Sasha Clayton wants to be a major singer/rapper recording artist, but right now she’s a bedroom artist, spending her days in East London smoking weed and stalking her ex-boyfriend on Instagram, and avoiding her mum, her stepdad and sister Megan. 

When Sasha is kicked out of her family home for arson, she is forced to fend for herself, sofa-surfing with local dealer Saleem, until she moves in with party girl Carly, who introduces her to the exciting world of social media influencing, i.e. a Cam Girl on DailyFans. But as the gap between her online presence and her dream of being a singer continues to grow, Sasha finds herself struggling to escape the world of being an escort, which is more complex and darker than she could have imagined.

I watched this earlier in the year and I was riveted. You could feel the desperation off Sasha and how she just didn't know how to get out of the hole she was in. Looking forward to seeing future work of Lecky, she is a true talent.

Quote

Sasha is a rowdy 25-year old wannabe singer from the East End, with a bank balance of minus £77. In other words, she's going nowhere fast. Sasha has big dreams of being a music star, but has no idea how to get there. What's worse, the seductive world of online influencers holds some dark secrets that she's going to uncover the hard way. With nowhere else to turn, she must try and break free from the siren call of fame and fortune while staying safe, sane and out of trouble. And maybe writing some music, too.

Premiered Nov 6 on BBC American and AMC+
