Meeting as "shades" after their unexpected deaths, Mark and Maeve team up to try influencing the world they can't seem to leave.
Hereafter is a touching and funny human drama, starring Stephen Tomkinson and Dervla Kirwan. This six part series tells the stories of two lost souls, who in death have the opportunity to right some of the wrongs of the life they have left behind, and to learn some harsh truths about themselves.
An unusual and imaginative ghost story with many twists. Two widely different people die on the same day and find themselves still on Earth and able to interact with others under certain conditions. They can be seen by strangers but not by people who once knew them. And the strangers forget about them as soon as they loose eye contact. But a trace memory remains so they can affect a small amount of change. This creates many situations both comic and tragic. Fine acting and no special effects makes this a very entertaining series.
Two spiritual beings encounter each other after their deaths as humans, and attempt to reverse some of the harm they caused in their mortal lives. Despite some successes, they find their nature gives them only limited power in the "real" world.
"A quirky romantic comedy of life after death" —The Times (U.K.)
"Top notch" —Liverpool Daily Post (U.K.)
Maeve (Dervla Kirwan, Ballykissangel) and Mark (Stephen Tompkinson, Wild at Heart) meet in London under unusual circumstances: both are recently deceased. Maeve was killed by a hit-and-run driver, and Mark died during a routine surgery while his wife was giving birth to their son. The two mismatched souls find themselves still in this world, thrown together in a weird and wonderful afterlife.
This touching and gently humorous British drama explores what it means to have a chance to help—or hinder—those left behind. Maeve’s lover wasn’t just cheating on his wife; he was also cheating on Maeve. Mark was happily married, but he left his wife and children penniless. In this afterlife, the dead can’t talk to those they knew when alive, but they can speak freely with strangers. Will Maeve and Mark be able to right past wrongs and repair relationships? What will they learn about each other, and themselves?
Seen on public television, this poignant drama also stars Peter O’Brien (Queer as Folk), David Bradley (Harry Potter), and Callum Blue (Dead Like Me).
