The series follows a 13-year-old boy called Jamie (played by Owen Cooper) who is arrested on suspicion of murdering a girl from his school – a crime he claims he did not commit.
While initially Jamie's family including his dad Eddie (Graham) insist he must be innocent, it soon emerges that Jamie had been consuming misogynistic content online – and the truth about what happened to Katie begins to emerge.
The action is accompanied by a tense score, which is at times unsettling and on other occasions profoundly moving, while a handful of needle drops also feature in the series.
Read on for a full list of songs featured in the Netflix drama.
