This was an absolutely stunning drama.

I came to it without having read the novel or indeed having even seen a trailer or review.

The stories of interlinked lives was compelling and very believable with much complexity and subtlety. The acting was absolutely first rate. It was edge of the seat stuff with great tension, fear and sadness as well as lighter happier moments. I very much believed in all the characters and the story dealt with some quick complex issues and multi-faceted characters.

A drama to make you pause and think. I very much recommend it.

A must see drama, ignore the bad reviews, watch it and be beautifully lost for 90 minutes in it's super story lines, super acting, super characters and super London location. It's not easy viewing, some of it is gut wrenching, but in the end be prepared to be blown away from start to finish.

I had not read the book the movie is based on in advance. And I'm happy for it. What I liked most about this drama was the unpredictability of the characters. As the other user reviews have pointed out, this is about friendship, race, social class and interpersonal relationships. All of this is portrayed both believable and interesting. But the best part is still all the secrets these people have, dark secrets they carry and that they partially live out. The film is divided, around the main characters, but everything is merged together in a way that the whole is taken care of. Definitely worth a couple of hours in front of the TV.

Really great movie. wish it didnt end so quickly..hope to see more shows or movie like this.great actors playing great parts.

I just love!love this show. Waiting for more to come great acting great cast.
