Where to begin? Where to end? I never miss an episode of Eastenders. But is that saying it's so good that I can't bear to miss it? Not at all. It's not as good as it used to be, obviously. Gone are the days of truly shocking and scandalous story lines. We were hooked on "Who Shot Phil?" We were hooked on Max and Stacey's affair behind Bradley's back. Countless more mentions can be made, but I can't be bothered to write anymore haha. Hooked and shocked. That was once the magic Eastenders had on us. Now, where has it all gone? But, I will say, there is still hope for this once beloved soap. Lucy's murder wasn't all that, and the wait they are keeping us on is a bit much. However, it's the performances of it's actors that will keep me coming back for more. Adam Woodyatt has been particularly brilliant in the unfolding storyline. The writers would be wise to keep focus on him rather than anybody else at the moment, and to surround him by the best actors around.

And that's the point. Eastenders has been a hit and miss over the recent years. But I feel, if they can play their cards right, they can bring it back to top form. Never to the heights of several years ago, that's impossible. But it can be repaired.

6 out of 10, for that little bit of brighter future.

I don't think there can be enough praise in the world that I can give to this show. It's nothing short of perfection. I started watching on Netflix about a week and half ago, and I've just finished all 5 seasons today. Yep, I've lost my job because of all the sickies I've been pulling since watching ;) It's like a good book you can't put down, you get so involved with the story and characters and you can't bear to put it down. The writing is superb and all the actors were brilliant. Cranston and Paul are two of the greatest actors I've ever seen, and their performances were worthy of every award nomination and win that they received. Same goes for the show in general. I haven't seen anything like it and I doubt I ever will again.

Honestly, do yourself a favor - watch this show. You'll be seeing something truly spectacular.
