Are you looking for the newest tear-jerking romantic drama fix? ITVX’s You & Me will undoubtedly tick those boxes.
The story follows a group of young people in London whose lives intertwine in honest, loving, and at times explosive ways, and is produced by It’s A Sin creator and returning Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies.
The TV programme, created by actor Jamie Davis in his screenplay debut, stars Harry Lawtey, Sophia Brown, and Jessica Barden and is guaranteed to be one of the most powerful shows you’ve seen so far in 2023.
What is You & Me about?
You & Me will have the same effect on you if you’re willing to get your heart shattered and then repaired again.
The story follows Ben (Harry), a young guy whose life is flipped upside down when he meets Jess (Sophia).
As the couple finds happiness with each other, tragedy occurs, and the characters wonder how they will live regular lives after everything they’ve gone through.
When the tale alternates between times, Ben meets Emma (Jessica), a young lady with a traumatic background of her own.
Without giving too much away, brace yourself for an emotionally charged story filled with exquisite character relationships, heartbreaking dialogue, and moments that will make you want to cling to your loved ones as closely as possible.
‘You & Me is about a young boy called Ben (Harry Lawtey) who lives in London,’ Jamie explained of the show’s concept. ‘He meets a young woman named Jess (Sophia Brown) in the opening scene and they fall in love, but then something remarkable happens in his life that changes everything.
‘We see Ben’s life across two timelines, the Now and the Then, and eventually the two timelines meet. We’re telling a love story in a way you’ve never seen a love story told before.’
