According to the summary, while life seems to be calming down for them, the environment around them is becoming increasingly stressful or anxious.

In this rephrased version, I’ve attempted to maintain the original meaning while making it more accessible:

“In a gripping suburban drama, words turn into weapons, and opinions grow increasingly extreme. As a result, once friendly neighbors transform into bitter rivals, testing the very boundaries of peacefulness.

The program can be characterized as “a compelling narrative that sheds light on the biases re-emerging in our everyday experiences.

Discussing his involvement in the series, Cumming expressed that just like precious aspects of life, truly exceptional individuals are worth the wait. He and Russell T Davies have endeavored to collaborate for more than two decades.

Currently, I’m collaborating with none other than my closest, longest-standing friend, Dave Morrissey. The project we’re working on is not only exceptional, but also forward-thinking and crucial. To be frank, I find this a genuine honor.

In the meantime, Morrissey expressed his joy: “I’m thrilled to collaborate with Russell once more, and equally excited to team up with Alan, who I’ve known as a close friend for over 40 years. Yet, we never had the opportunity to work together before. It’s an honor to be alongside them on this remarkable project.

Alongside Cumming and Morrissey, we have several notable actors like Pooky Quesnel, Jackson Connor, Joseph Evans, Elizabeth Berrington, Iz Hesketh, Shakeel Kimotho, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Paul Rhys, Charlie Condou, and Denise Welch joining the cast.
