Mr. Sloane
Created by Robert B. Weide
On Sky Atlantic
A darkly comic character study of a buttoned-down 1960s man in existential crisis, balancing melancholy introspection with wry humor and the tentative possibility of redemption.
Mr. Sloane's titular character is a buttoned-down 1960's man in crisis. Between his failed attempts at marriage, career success and even suicide, it's fair to say that 1969 isn't shaping up to be Watford-dweller Mr. Sloane's year. But with a potential job opportunity on the horizon and the phone number of a prospective new love interest following a chance encounter in his local hardware store, could Mr Sloane's luck be about to change?
