What a wonderful bunch of characters. You wish these people were real so you could hang out with them. There was an honest goodness to them.
If you haven't seen it and you think I'm describing the Midlands answer to the Waltons - beware. This show is grim and very distressing in parts. I felt sick during some scenes, like I couldn't breathe and I was in tears in other scenes (not since I watched The Snowman aged 5 have I ever cried to a TV show).
Shane Meadows and his talented cast deserve all the acclaim they get and I hope to see more from them all in the future. |
Some of the best acting to come out of the UK in a long time, Vicky McClure is a force to be reckoned with! That scene at the Sunday dinner table was very uncomfortable!
Great show!
