This riveting drama from BAFTA and RTS award-winning writer Nicole Taylor (“Three Girls,” “Wild Rose”) explores the consequences of a pact between a wealthy Scottish couple and a troubled teenage girl, which changes all of their lives forever. They have one last chance to have a child, but what is the real cost of getting what they want? “The Nest” was BBC One’s highest-rated new drama of 2020 in March and was one of the most-viewed TV series on BBC iPlayer this past spring. Now featured in a two-disc DVD set with a 31-minute behind-the-scenes featurette ($39.99, Amazon). “The Nest” is also available to stream on Acorn TV.

Martin Compston (“Line of Duty”) and Sophie Rundle (“Peaky Blinders,” “Bodyguard”) star in this suspenseful five-episode Acorn TV Original Scottish miniseries as a wealthy couple who would do anything to have a baby. When Emily (Rundle) accidentally hits Kaya (Mirren Mack, “Sex Education”), a down-on-her-luck 18-year-old, with her car, the two make an instant connection. After learning about her desperate situation, Kaya offers to carry Emily’s last embryo as a surrogate. Although Emily’s husband, successful businessman Dan (Compston), warns about the legal and moral implications of such an agreement, the women are adamant. But as buried secrets emerge about Kaya’s past, Dan and Emily start to wonder if they’re the ones being used. An “intelligent, gripping, and questioning drama” (The Scotsman) about love, trust, and the true cost of buying whatever you want.
