Get ready to unleash your inner TV critic because Channel 5's latest drama, The Cuckoo, is about to take you on a wild ride!

In this riveting new series, a seemingly innocent decision to take in a lodger turns into a rollercoaster of chaos for Jessica (played by Claire Goose) and Nick (played by Lee Ingleby).

Enter Sian (played by Jill Halfpenny), whose arrival sets off a chain of events that will have you glued to the edge of your seat.

Halfpenny herself promises a viewing experience like no other, saying: "You’ll have moments where you’re in complete disbelief watching people behave in a certain way."

And if that's not enough to get your heart racing, co-star Lee Ingleby warns that you might find yourself screaming at the TV in frustration or disbelief!

"People will definitely be shouting at the TV during this show because you just can’t help but get involved," Ingleby says.

"It got to a point where I’d be filming a big scene just wondering what the Goggleboxers would say about it."

Indeed, The Cuckoo isn't just another drama series—it's an interactive experience that will have you questioning the characters' choices and yelling at your screen like there's no tomorrow.

From gripping suspense to jaw-dropping revelations, this show promises to keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

So, grab your popcorn, settle in on the couch, and prepare yourself for a television event like no other.

Whether you're a fan of heart-pounding thrillers or just looking for some quality entertainment, The Cuckoo is sure to deliver the goods.

But beware: as Halfpenny and Ingleby suggest, this is one show where you might want to keep a stress ball handy.

With each episode packed full of drama and intrigue, you never know when you might need to let off some steam!
