What is The Fear about?

The Fear is a five-part television drama produced by Thames Television subsidiary Euston Films for ITV.

Young and ambitious, Galton represents a new breed of criminal who seeks to expand his underworld empire and takes on the old East End firms. 1980s materialism clashes with old school London villainy as Galton rises to power, yet his ruthlessness carries a personal cost, especially on his wife Linda and best friend Marty.
