Set against the vibrant backdrop of the 1990s, the series immerses viewers in the cultural explosion of the Britpop era, exploring Blur’s evolution from scrappy art-school students to global superstars. Through its central quartet—frontman Damon Albarn, guitarist Graham Coxon, bassist Alex James, and drummer Dave Rowntree—the series captures the raw energy, clashing egos, and collaborative genius that defined Blur. It explores the band’s initial failures, breakthrough with Modern Life Is Rubbish, domination with Parklife and The Great Escape, and the intense rivalry with Oasis that gripped the UK. But Parklife isn’t just about chart battles and sold-out shows. It's an intimate portrait of four young men navigating fame, identity, and creative tension. It delves into Graham Coxon's struggle with addiction, Damon Albarn’s relentless drive, and how the pressures of success nearly tore the band apart before their triumphant reunion.
