It’s a Shame That All the Advertisements Don’t Trumpet About Film: to Miss This New Release is a Sin
A great movie that was unfairly overlooked in promotion.
Imagine: you have been raising a child for several years, you are ready to do anything for him, and suddenly you find out that someone had switched him at the maternity hospital. This is how the British mini-series Playing Nice (2025) begins. The new series already has a solid rating of 7.4 — and this is just the start.
The plot centers on two families who receive shocking news: their sons were switched at birth. At first, the parents decide not to change anything — after all, love for a child is not measured by DNA. But the longer they live with this secret, the more painful the question becomes: leave everything as is or get “their” boy back? Peaceful conversations quickly give way to a legal duel, and old grievances, hidden fears and mistakes that they preferred to keep silent about come to the surface.
The series is based on the world bestseller of the same name, and the creators clearly tried to preserve the literary depth. The actors play out emotions on the edge - from awkward embarrassment to desperate rage. Each scene keeps the viewer in suspense: is this family strong enough to survive a new trial, and are they ready to pay the price for the truth?
Play nice balances between drama and detective: plot twists appear where you least expect them. If you like stories with moral dilemmas and the question "what would you do?" — then you've come to the right place.
