People can’t stop watching a 10/10 ‘intense’ new thriller from ITV which features a Top Boy star.

Four months on since the Netflix series came to an end (we’re still not over it), one of the stars is appearing in a new ITV drama.

You might better know Jasmine Jobson as Jaq, one of the higher ups in the Summerhouse gang and one of the main characters of the final seasons of Top Boy.

But now she’s ditched playing the gangster life for the role of Lisa in this new four-part series.

Watch the trailer here:

Now streaming on ITVX, the show’s synopsis reads: “Haunting thriller adaptation. A suicide on Platform 7 prompts a woman and a Transport Police officer to investigate the details surrounding her death.”

Named Platform 7, the series follows the ghost of Lisa, stuck on the train station platform where she died and witnessed a major event

She starts to do her own investigation into her death, as she has no memory at all of what happened to her.

Throughout the episodes, she uses her limited memory to try and make some connection between what she saw and her own life.

Oh, and there’s a fair bit of supernatural in the ITV series too.

Jobson is the star of the new thriller series but it also features A Discovery of Witches’ Toby Regbo, Yaamin Chowdhury from The Lazarus Project, Hollyoaks’ Rhiannon Clements and Emily Carey from House of the Dragon.

Users are raving about Platform 7 on X as they write: “F**k me... "Platform 7" on ITV is amazing. Episode 3 is a particularly hard watch, as is the whole series, so I had to binge watch - fantastic series, with the caveat that it's quite intense.”

Another put: “Watching this series called platform 7 on ITV hub and omg I am HOOKED.”

Many call it ‘brilliant’ and ‘highly recommend’ watching it.

Viewers are loving Platform 7.

Others called it a ‘great bit of British drama’ as another wrote: “Jaq from Toy Boy played a blinder. Worth watching if you want to binge something this weekend.”

As one echoed: “Platform 7 ITV X, Jasmine Jobson (Top Boy) so flipping good, binge watch!”

Jobson previously spoke to Digital Spy about the role, saying: “There's something about haunting, I love it.

"That was the main hook for me, it was the haunting side of things but when it came down to the script; I haven't played anybody like Lisa before. So for me it was very much about trying something new.”
