I feel I am being generous giving this 5, but it was just about watchable. Very serious flaws, though. Mainly the writing and direction. I find it hard to believe that Sheridan Smith would have willingly performed the role in the way she did. Her expressions in the courtroom scenes were especially poor. The mawkishness of the storylines steadily descended in to ever deeper cringe.
Having written all that, I'm asking myself whether it does really deserve the 5/10. I'd better sign off before I adjust it downwards.

Sheridan Smith yet again putting in a powerful performance. A parents nightmare this story and it is worth watching and you won't be disappointed.. Everything Sheridan is doing at the moment is brilliant and she is an outstanding actress.
Poorly scripted plot with even dumber subplots and an ending that beggars belief. We watched it because it was shot in Spain but all we learned was that crappy shows can be made in Spain just as easily as anywhere else in the world.
A family populated with unlikeable characters go on holiday, there's a incident...
Trouble for me was, by the time the alleged incident occurs, which is only minutes into the first episode, I no longer cared what happened.
I persevered, purely because Sheridan Smith always gives good value, however her character, along with pretty much every other, was so deeply unlikeable as to be impossible to empathise with.
The side drama involving Smith's character's sister was utterly pointless and appeared to be there solely to pad the story out to fill four hours.
A shame really, the potential was there for a gripping drama, instead what we ended up with was something that would have been more suited to a four episode Eastenders/Coronation Street storyline.

I don't know why I forced myself to watch until the end, but hey no.
MORE, yet more Sheridan smith, are there no other actresses available for drama? That said, she plays the part well but it really wasn't great to watch.
Predictable and pedestrian, not one of ITV's better shows.
