It really annoys me when reviewers say negative things about a programme without understanding the context. It is hard hitting and difficult to watch because it is portrayed as real life.
This show is going to be great, the acting is superb and the emotional Stephen Graham is a softer side I have not seen before. I liked the way you were drawn into the story, and it felt real, not everyone lives a perfect life and some people struggle to cope, especially when they have a terrible past.
Give it a chance to get going....it scored high on IMDB (currently 8.4) because it is already considered a great programme.
