At the time of this interview, co-creator Jack Thorne has just visited 10 Downing Street — the home of U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer— to discuss both the limited series’ outsized impact on the public consciousness, and what can be done to help solve the societal ills it examined. Graham recalls spending his teenage years in youth centers playing soccer with friends and compares this to a reckoning he and Hannah Walters, his wife and fellow Matriarch Productions founder, experienced during the pandemic with their kids.
