Butterfly
ITV’s latest three-part mini-series, Butterfly – starring Callum Booth-Ford as Maxine, and Annie Friel as her Mother, Vicky - tells the story of a family dealing with the identity of their trans child. Eye-opening and, at times, harrowing, Butterfly sheds light on a topic that hasn’t been explored much on the small screen. A must-watch.
