Press
This has been the apotheosis of the modern sadcom: delicate and bereft, but with an undertow of hope that its characters will find their place. Embodying that bittersweet balance is the show's co-writer, Toby Jones, as the titular coach driver, for whom redemption may - in this season finale - be near.
