Chloe: Psychological thriller asks how far we can really trust social media

How far can you believe the images people show of themselves on social media? That’s the question posed by psychological thriller Chloe which starts on BBC One on Sunday 6 February.

As one young woman's Instagram obsession forces her to adopt a fake identity in order to investigate the disappearance of a popular blogger, reality comes crashing down around her.

Here’s everything you need to know about BBC One series Chloe.

What is Chloe about?

Working in a temp job and still living with her mum, Becky (played by Erin Doherty, above) is a young woman dissatisfied with her life, so she escapes reality by obsessively following the picture-perfect lives of others on Instagram.

But when the woman behind one of her favourite accounts, Chloe, suddenly dies, Becky decides to take the investigation into her own hands.

She restyles herself as confident, fascinating alter-ego Sasha and infiltrates Chloe’s close-knit group of friends to look for answers, but soon risks losing herself in the addictive fake life she is leading.
