Not sure if I should score it 1 or 2. I did manage to keep going through to the end, though I did keep it running whilst I disappeared off to cook, check the washing, go to the bathroom, you name it, anything really in the hope that maybe when I returned to it it would improve. This only needed 2, maximum 3 episodes. Idea was ok, but just sooooo drawn out. It felt like the actors were bored too and just wanted to get to the end. I'd suggest avoid, or else you might find yourself like me hoping against all odds for improvement, but be left feeling extremely disappointed and upset with yourself for wasting so much time.

10/10 absolutely brilliant. Acting was superb, especially the two main characters. Touches you to the core but without lots of gimmicks. Raw, honest, great study of humanity. Hard to express with words just how deep and real it was. I'll be recommending it to everyone. I initially avoided it as I suspected it might be too gruesome in parts and too emotional/tear-jerker in others, but actually it is done in an almost gentle, under-sensationalist way, so that what you feel/experience seems so real.
