Pure
Created by Kirstie Swain
On Channel 4
A darkly comedic, character-driven study of a woman grappling with intrusive OCD thoughts and sexual confusion as she attempts self-discovery in London.
Marnie is not OK. She's had x-rated thoughts for the last 3672 days and she doesn't know why or what they mean. When she jumps on a coach to London, she doesn't know a soul, not even herself, but in the city she will build a new life.
