James Norton Hits Back At This 1 Criticism Of His New ITV Drama

James Norton in Playing Nice

James Norton has a message for viewers finding his latest drama for ITV a little on the far-fetched side.

The former Happy Valley star takes the lead in the new four-part series Playing Nice, about two couples who learn that their three-year-old sons were actually switched at birth.

Critical reception for the show has been mixed, with The Guardian infamously giving it just one star in a recent review, as the result of its “ridiculous” storyline and “nauseating premise”.
