The third episode of Insomnia, titled This Family is so F***ed Up, airs on 5 this Tuesday, July 8, at 9 PM. Vicky McClure’s Emma continues her descent into a waking nightmare, now facing police questions. As if that were not enough, her husband discovers their son Will’s disturbing drawings of a horrific woman, adding another unsettling piece to the puzzle.
Adapted from Sarah Pinborough’s novel, the series follows Emma as she grapples with increasing fear and confusion. Desperate to understand her nocturnal habits, Emma sets up cameras to record what happens while she sleeps. The footage reveals horrifying events, culminating in a scene where she is shown holding a pillow over Will, a moment that will, no doubt, leave Emma shaken.
With Sarah Pinborough also serving as executive producer, the show continues to pull from the book’s dark core. Börkur Sigthorsson directs the episode, ensuring the eerie atmosphere remains intact. The episode title itself, This Family is so F***ed Up, sums up Emma’s increasingly desperate situation, leaving little doubt about the emotional toll on the family.
Insomnia: This Family is so F***ed Up airs Tuesday, July 8, at 9 PM on 5.
