Mood is a ground-breaking new BBC3 drama, adapted from Nicôle Lecky’s critically acclaimed Royal Court play, Superhoe.
Actress, writer, and singer-songwriter Nicôle has created an original soundtrack for the series which she will be performing across the episodes, as well as playing the lead role of Sasha Clayton, a 25-year-old wannabe singer, and rapper with big dreams of becoming a major recording artist, with no idea on how to get there.
The series touches on important issues, particularly with the dark underbelly of social media influencing, and the fine line between liberation and exploitation, as Sasha herself struggles to escape its complexity after she’s kicked out of her family home.
Nicôle is one of the latest new talents to explode onto our screens with this must-watch BBC drama, as it tackles the younger generations' perils that are often suffered throughout daily lives.
