The Wrong Mans
From actor/writer duo James Corden and Mathew Baynton, The Wrong Mans series centers on Sam Pinkett and Phil Bourne, office workers for Berkshire County Council, who have their menial existence turned upside-down by a chance phone-call and a case of mistaken identity. After being sole witness to a car crash on a desolate country road, Sam answers an abandoned mobile telephone and hears a message that was clearly not meant for him: "If you are not here by 5 o'clock, we will kill your wife". Encouraged by office mail-room delivery boy Phil that they can be the heroes of the hour, the duo soon find themselves plunged into a deadly kidnap situation. The Wrong Mans involves a world of unexpected international conspiracy and intrigue, with the mysterious Scarlett and Stevens and the enigmatic secret agent Walker at the heart of the unfurling chaos. Sam and Phil must dodge bullets and escape explosions in their quest to save not just themselves, but their loved ones and ultimately their whole town.

DOP style
The DOP assigned to The Wrong Mans is a man called David Rom. His works consist of Poldark, Thirteen, Humans and many more. By studying the aforementioned programmes you can see a similar trend in the visuals of the work he does. For example, when you compare screenshots of them all, they all seem to have common traits among them, one of which being Rom's love of using the depth of field for a cinematic look. When a subject is close to the camera (sometimes a macro lens or setting is required) and you focus the camera on that subject, the contrast between the sharp focus and clarity of the subject and the blurred background gives the shot a cinematic ora about it and draws the audience's sense of importance upon that subject.
