    Lousy camera work

    The movie looked good, but it was like watching a nighttime movie. Too dark . Dusappointing

    Another quality piece from the BBC

    Watched this some time ago and found it to be such a good watch, accurately portraying the struggles of the less fortunate under yet another Tory government. For those that despise the license fee and moan about the BBC, this is the BBC at it's best. Just as the NHS and social care are shown here to be underfunded it's government underfunding that's causing the removal of the license fee, it's not the BBC's fault. Watch this and see the real state of Britain at the moment and pray a similar situation doesn't befall you in the next few years. Then get your hands on a copy of Boy's From The Blackstuff and wonder why people keep voting these people in.

    Heartbreakingly strong performances

    Exceptional performances from everybody. Every single scene is heartbreaking to watch. One of th best TV Dramas I've ever seen.

    Incredible acting

    Two incredible actresses with a heart wrenching and compassionate script which they deliver brilliantly. I cried throughout and felt the pain Sheridan Smith portrayed. Superb drama from the BBC.

    !Too dark

    Why do they have to make movies slmost impossible to see!.. especially if you're watching during the day.

    A good story with excellent acting spoilt by being so rediculously dark!🙄
