This show isn’t perfect but it is still excellent. Superb acting all round. Perhaps the dislike of this show stems from a lack of recognition of the subtlety and nuances of the conflicts and collaborations between the characters. Award winning performance from Joseph Rawle of course. But this story is so much more. For example, the point of the murdered girl and the anguish of isolated parents and their response to journalists trying to seek a wider truth, is being missed by so many people. If you need a plot to smack you in the face, then Mother Father Son probably won’t be for you.
