Daniel Mays is one of those actors we can watch time and time again. He's brilliant in Line of Duty, we loved him in Lynley, and he gave a stellar performance in true crime adaptation Believe Me.
And if you didn't catch him in Netflix's White Lines when it first came out in 2020, it's definitely one to add to your must-watch list. The mini-series follows a group of expats who are living in Ibiza when a man goes missing, and his sister is dragged into a world of deceit and drugs while trying to find out what happened to him.
It's available to binge-watch in full now, so what are you watching for?
What is White Lines about?
The series follows Zoe Walker, who leads a relatively quiet and happy life in the UK when she is forced to Ibiza to try and discover what happened to her brother, 20 years earlier. She finds herself drawn into a web of cover-ups and lies as she investigates his death, and the answer takes her to places she wouldn't believe.
The Netflix description reads, "When the body of a legendary Manchester DJ is discovered twenty years after his mysterious disappearance from Ibiza, his sister returns to the beautiful Spanish island to find out what happened. Her investigation will lead her through a thrilling world of dance clubs, lies and cover-ups, forcing her to confront the darker sides of her own character in a place where people live life on the edge."
