I thought this piece of drama was fantastic. I'll admit i watched this drama out of morbid curiosity - how bad will it be - i couldnt have been more wrong. Within 10 minutes i was hooked into the two completly believable families lives. How nice to see a drama set in n. ireland about n. ireland but only using n.ireland as a backdrop. The politics were personal. In your face at times. But always personal and believable. It's hard to pick out individual performances, but colum convry as the ex IRA man trying to do right, trying to keep jis family together but always seeming to do wrong was outstanding. As for zara turner. I'm a convert. I never thought she could act before. Well done to the director for the performances he got from the kids, especially the youngest girl.
