Ep 1. Episode 1

Honest season 1 episode 1, titled "Episode 1," introduces us to the main character, Lindsay Carter (Amanda Redman), a con artist who has just been released from prison after doing time for a Ponzi scheme. As she is welcomed home by her family, which includes her mother (Camille Coduri), husband (Danny Webb), and two adult sons (Theo Barklem-Biggs and Sean Pertwee), she realizes that things have changed since she last saw them.

Lindsay's husband, Richard, has turned their house into an Airbnb, her mother has started a new relationship, and her sons have their own issues to deal with. As Lindsay tries to settle back into her old life, she is faced with the reality that she may not be able to return to her old ways of conning people. Her probation officer, DCI Tom Kendle (Ben Bailey Smith), is keeping a close eye on her, and she is banned from using any electronic devices.

With no other options, Lindsay decides to try and go straight by starting her own cleaning business. However, it's not long before she finds herself in trouble again. When a wealthy couple hires her to clean their home, Lindsay sees an opportunity for another con.

Despite the risk of getting caught and sent back to prison, Lindsay can't resist the adrenaline rush of pulling off a successful scam. With the help of her sons and a few trusted allies, Lindsay sets her plan in motion. But as she tries to navigate the dangerous world of fraud, Lindsay realizes that the line between right and wrong has become increasingly blurred.

Throughout the episode, we see glimpses of Lindsay's past and the events that led to her incarceration. We learn that she was once a successful businesswoman who made a costly mistake, leading her down the path of deception. As Lindsay tries to make amends for her past mistakes, she must confront the consequences of her actions and decide what kind of person she wants to be moving forward.

Overall, "Episode 1" sets up the premise of Honest and introduces us to its complex, flawed, and compelling protagonist. With a mix of humor, drama, and intrigue, the episode sets the stage for a thrilling series that promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
