It's not without it's flaws, It's easy to say it's cliché but...the day we stop making and watching movies like this will be a very sad day indeed. I don't think Eddie deserves an Oscar but he definitely deserves some plaudits. The young Charlie was so annoying I wanted to stop watching but hey! isn't that wonderful that, that happened?

Eddie's restrained performance should be credited as showing he can act without the usual manic performance we are more familiar with...!

Britt as the older Charlotte was very believable and thankfully we could feel for her.

It's sad but feel good and I personally think that's great and surely, is that not what we want?

Just watched the last episode of series two. My thought's?..Stunning! This is not cobbled together tacked on drama this is seminal in the context of British drama. You are drawn in to each character whether that character be good or bad, wrong or right, lucky or unlucky. We see the effects lifelike individuals can have on others. Even on people they have never met. The acting from well known to lesser known actors in each episode is consistently compelling. The presence from each of these, perfectly cast actors, fully compliments each episodes script. The subtle episode plot joins assist the viewer in quickly settling into each story lending more credibility to each new characters situation. Sure there are some weaknesses however, this is as good as British drama gets so don't miss out just because of bad (or good!) reviews. Settle down and enjoy the drama!
