"Mint might be the most outrageously beautiful television show since Twin Peaks, featuring a patchwork of VHS-style footage, surreal daydream sequences, and gorgeously odd framing."
"Despite the aesthetic triumph, Mint is set not in a world of beauty but one of extreme ugliness, with Shannon's father ruling a criminal underworld."
Shannon, a 22-year-old with a gangster father and a peculiar family, lacks a job or social life, waiting for love. Her life changes when she meets Arran at a train station, igniting a passionate connection. Mint, the debut TV project by Charlotte Regan, features a unique visual style reminiscent of Twin Peaks, blending VHS footage and surreal sequences. Despite its aesthetic beauty, the show is set against a backdrop of violence and dysfunction, exemplified by Shannon's father's brutal behavior, which contrasts sharply with her romantic aspirations.
