What is “My Policeman” about?
Like every great love story, “My Policeman” begins in 1950’s era Brighton, a seaside town in the south of the U.K.
Harry Styles, whose credits include supporting roles in Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling” and Christopher Nolan’s 2017 war epic “Dunkirk,” plays Tom Burgess, a local policeman, who marries schoolteacher Marion Tyler (Emma Corrin, who audiences might recognize for her turn as Princess Di on the fourth season of “the Crown”).
Things start to get complicated when Tom begins an illicit affair with museum curator, Patrick Hazlewood (David Dawson), threatening to tear his marriage apart and out the gay couple in an era where homosexuality was, to put it lightly, frowned upon.
As its name suggests, “My Policeman” is an emotionally arresting drama and a love story for the ages. Check it out tonight on Amazon Prime Video.
