Forget the poor reviews. Watch this utterly compelling performance of two people colliding together and finding redemption in self forgiveness and the forgiveness of each other.

This is a real problem, Psychiatric drugs are not only dangerous to take, they are also dangerous to withdraw from. A nice mini-series, superb acting. Emily Watson is such a talented actress.

Hard hitting drama showing how easy it could be to be pushed to breaking point with the right set of circumstances. Also how we can pre judge without knowing the full picture. It's a slow burn but outstanding from start to finish.

I really can't understand why people leave reviews after only 1 or 2 episodes of a 3 part programme. Their judgements are merely superficial. Having watched it all I thought it was a superior and thought provoking drama. It left you wanting more and I hope there will be. Excellent leads and they bounced off each other creating sparks. Emily Watson is always good and Denise Gough was equal to her acting ability. Yes it was slow but it needed to be given the subject matter. Not all drama has to be smash bang wollop. If you are the thoughtful type of viewer, watch it. If you are into crash bang wollop don't bother.

I wish IMDB would moderat the reviews more, I just read some and 1 person had the audacity to review this series after watching 15 minutes of it. This should now be allowed.

This short series (3 episodes) is compelling and sad at the same time. Both actresses are absolutely fantastic and the plot is just varied enough, not focussing on 1 issue, to keep you glued to the screen.

8 out of 10 for the series, and an extra point for the absolutely great acting. Well done Emily and. Denise.
