Channel 4’s ‘Careless’ uses a thriller format to portray the realities of MS through a couple’s story, starring Solly McLeod.
A new four-part thriller series titled ‘Careless’ is in the works for Channel 4, combining secrets and suspense with an honest look at the challenges of living with multiple sclerosis. Created by Helen Fitzgerald and Louise Fox, the show centers on married couple Angela and Mike as they hire help for Mike, who has MS and is known for not tolerating fools, according to Variety.

[PRAXIS]: This story means ordinary people get to see chronic illness like MS woven into mainstream entertainment instead of tucked away in medical dramas, which could quietly chip away at stigma and make families feel less alone when they recognize their own struggles on screen.
