A different way of telling a story

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Enjoyed this series. Some excellent performances. Well worth a watch.

Some good, some bad but absolutely no Joy to balance the deceit and despair

The will she/won't she saga of wether Hannah will leave her husband Nathan for Christie became tedious and boring. The back story of Davey and Goldie was more interesting with good performances from Stephen Tompkinsin and Meera Syal was far more interesting. Not one of Nicola Walkers better performances.

I loved the split, all the characters were interesting and the acting was amazing, been crying my eyes out at the last episode, I like that it had a story regarding all members of the family, but didn't focus too much on any one individual. Would love an other series.
