To me, this movie is perfection.

hyped garbage

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

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.

First World problems, the TV series. Loads of people whining on about stuff that no one cares about. Stephen Mangan, you can do so much better.

This is another disappointing BBC drama. It would have been possible to produce a decent drama series about divorce lawyers and their family issues by dealing with two or three story strands. But the attempt to weave together so many divergent plot lines produces a rats nest of confusion and conflict. The cast is very good but they must surely have realised that they were working on a turkey. The script could have been produced by a computer random cliche generator. Experience suggests that as the series continues it will deteriorate.

With the cast list for this series I expected something special. Instead we got staccato talking, often unintelligible and seldom more than a clipped sentence. Poor camera work, but that is the norm these days, and so many different people and scenarios were covered that I doubt that I will remember half the details next week - assuming I can be bothered to try a second episode. And why has this 'Hey' greeting crept in? Can't we do anything in this country without mimicking the Americans?
