Do We Have A Trailer?
On May 23rd, a 30-second-long trailer was released on BBC’s official YouTube channel. It starts with Andy and Daniel sitting on a couch in front of a counselor who asks them why they want to adopt this kid.
Daniel says that he and Andy have a lot to offer as parents. We then see a shot of them talking to each other about how they feel. They compare the feeling to being in school and there is no one who wants to play with you. Suddenly, they stand up to a sound and there is a kid in front of them. This kid might be Jake whom they want to adopt.
Later, Andy says that he will adopt Jake with or even without Daniel being involved. The teaser overall gives a glimpse of what the show has to offer. It feels like an emotional show showing the emotional growth of a man whose childhood was not simple or normal. But he wants to have a child to give him everything that he never had. The trailer doesn’t reveal the plot but generates enough interest.
Conclusion

Viewers really want to watch this breezy-looking miniseries that is about parenthood, childhood trauma, and other important themes.
