GEORGE & TAMMY

PARAMOUNT+ DRAMA

Not only country fans will be drawn to Paramount’s six-part dramatisation of the tempestuous marriage of singers George Jones and Tammy Wynette. It’s a classic tear-jerker, a stormy tale of obsessive love and damaged dreams – country music catnip. Jessica Chastain is convincing as the bouffant-haired Wynette, famed for her searingly soulful Stand By Your Man and quivering-voiced D-I-V-O-R-C-E. Michael Shannon is solid as Jones, who is less well known in the UK but who in fact had 160 hit singles. From Monday
