Toxic Town shifts focus to the 2000s in its second half, as the case gathers steam against the town council. But, like a lot of landmark legal wins, it’s not an easy road.
Toxic Town tackles the story of the Corby Toxic Waste case, a landmark ruling dubbed “the British Erin Brockovich.” It's a swift, pacy Netflix miniseries filled with sterling talent that might sometimes be a bit too slick for its story.
Netflix has assembled an all-star cast for Toxic Town, the dramatization of the real-life Corby toxic waste poisonings, one of the UK’s most significant environmental scandals.
Nearly two years after it initially premiered on BritBox, production is underway for a second season of Karen Pirie, based on the novels by Val McDermid.
Netflix and the BBC announcing they would produce a Lockerbie miniseries caused the Sky/Peacock miniseries to get a move on, and now there are two competing shows of the same name heading to the small screen.
