Overview

HIM is a British three-part miniseries created by Andy de Emmony and Paula Milne for ITV.

Like most boys, he finds it hard to process his feelings so tends to 'act out'. But his behaviour is also triggered by something else — his primal struggle to contain the terrifying secret of a supernatural power he inherited from his grandfather.
