A very slow moving series but so very well played by all. Even the children presented as real. A very intriguing plot with some very good lessons to be learned.
Shane Meadows is to me slowly becoming a director/writer to keep an eye out for. Sublimely acted, beautifully crafted and harrowingly dark, this is Shane's best since the This Is England movie.
Really enjoyed this show, great acting and very realistic, maybe too much of a slow burner for some.
Terribly tedious and depressing. Couldn't take it after 31 minutes and shut it off. 0/10
