What is The Full Monty (TV) About?
The Full Monty, a British-American comedy-drama TV series, picks up the story 25 years after the events of the 1997 film of the same name.

Set against the backdrop of a post-industrial Sheffield, the characters confront the realities of a changing Britain, grappling with issues in public services such as healthcare, education, and employment systems.
