An award-winning adult-themed comedy-drama featuring “Emmerdale” star Bhasker Patel and a cameo from “Shameless” actress Alice Barry, Spectrum follows a diverse array of lives over one night in Manchester’s gay village.
A drag king and a trans woman explore their new identities. A young man hooks up with a vampire, who wants to suck his blood. An older man adopts a pup, which brings him the attention he craved. And an awkward bisexual has forgotten to come out to both his girlfriend and his ex-boyfriend.
