Kingdom

Created by Simon Wheeler, Alan Whiting

On ITV1

A character-driven dramedy set in a small English seaside town, balancing legal proceduralism with the melancholic interior life of a man haunted by family dysfunction and unresolved grief.

Looks can be deceiving. Peter Kingdom seems to have everything — a man of some standing in the seaside town of Market Shipborough, he dresses well and has all the trappings of success. Why, then, does he wander along the beach and stare out to sea for hours at a time? Despite Peter's thriving legal practice, he must deal with his dysfunctional family (which includes his unstable sister) and his grief over his missing half-brother and law partner, Simon.
