Come Home

Great performances all round, but particularly from Paula Malcomson (she was amazing in Broken as well!) and Christopher Ecclestone. What amazes me though is how this intelligent and thought provoking drama can be hovering around 6.8 rating whereas Marcella (8 hours of my life I will never get back...) can be around 7.4 More of the same please BBC!

This, right here is how you know that you have great actors in front of you; I've been taken on a rollercoaster of emotions... many of which I've felt frequently. Some I've only felt a couple of times.

The pain of wanting something to work with an unwilling participant.

What happened here is a sign of the times: women miss their freedom and will make hasty, wreckless decisions to taste that freedom, even if it means regretting that decision later on.

Goddamn, this is sad!

You're placed right there with them as they deal with the ramifications of an incredibly self-absorbed relatives shortsighted, self-gratifying, impulsive decision, that causes so much hurt and pain.

You feel every ounce of that weight.

Then you observe what happens when sadness, need and desperation enable a wolf to be let into a civilised, albeit broken family unit.

Desperation doesn't yield anything worthwhile, ever!

Marie is a colossal mess. Greg is a spineless weakling. Sickening!!

I absolutely LOVE Paula Malcomson. I find her so sexy and pleasant. She's a very consistent actress.

Such a small, low-budget endeavour took a couple of masters of their craft to sell it cohesively. They did just that.

A tip of the hat to all involved in this powerful, low-budget family drama done to perfection.

Outstanding! 9-stars!

I loved this. The acting was well done portraying the rawness of a family torn apart. It got my heart. Best show I have seen for a while.

Amazing but sad 3 part drama about the break up of a relationship. Both leads Eccleston and Hamilton along with the supporting actors portray a family in crisis. First class. Ignore that 1 out of 10 review he does this a lot though gave a cancelled show 10 out of 10. Plus only Eccleston is English in the cast.

There is so much happening in this small peek that we see for this family. There are some truly terrible decisions that are made by both parents, even though they perceived it as beneficial to the family. It is interesting seeing the perspective from each (his in the first episode, hers in the second) before it is combined a little more truthfully in the third. Honestly, I was caught off guard by some of the truths that came out, and was holding my breath to find out how it played out. It wasn't always easy to watch, life often isn't, but man was it realistic.

This was well written and compelling. I wanted to know more and how both main characters got to were they where. That said, the acting was phenomenal. There was a strong cast from the children who were wonderful to the main cast. Christopher Eccleston, Paula Malcomson, and Kerri Quinn took turns breaking my heart and making me angry, to giving me faith back in people. I realize that the topic of accents is an issue for many native Irish speakers, but as a non-Irish person the accents did not distract me.

Overall, I highly recommend this series. It's not light but it is satisfying.
