Sensitive Skin Season 1 Plot

Affluent couple Al and Davina Jackson live in metropolitan London. Along with their friends, Al and Davina struggle with sexual temptation, professional jealousy and their fear of the future. Al is a pundit for a broadsheet newspaper and is paid to find imperfection in everything, while Davina works in an art gallery and is paid to make life more beautiful. But being 60 isn't simple: the couple's 30-year-old son, Orlando, refuses to acknowledge adulthood, and Davina's sister, Veronica, and her husband, Roger, intimidate the Jacksons with their confident and controlled grasp of life.
