Unforgiven

First of all, never pass up an opportunity to watch a series from the pen of Sally Wainwright. Secondly, be similarly alert to watch performances by Suranne Jones. Now, add a stellar cast of the likes of Peter Davison, Gemma Redgrave and Siobhan Finneran and you've struck gold. This has a story with heart and depth with performances by the best. I give this series a 9 (superb) out of 10. {Crime Drama}

What a wonderful, moving piece of drama. A very practical subject about the difficulty of offenders when they leave prison. Suranne Jones (brilliant performance) leaves prison and wants to find her little sister who she has not heard from in 15 years since she went inside. The story shows all the problems for many people from all different points of view. Heartbreaking in a way but so rewarding. Drama as good as it gets. My first 10/10 review !

Absolutely outstanding drama mine series. Best piece of TV I have seen for quite a long time. Really shows what can be done as long as the story is good enough and the actors are up for the job - there are several incredibly good performances here. Suranne Jones is fantastic in the lead role and Matthew McNulty also really stands out - but generally everyone puts in top drawer performances. The last episode has a bit more action in it than the first two but it continues to build on the story and doesn't let anything else get in the way. The ending is very, very touching as well and it is a brilliant way to conclude the series. Overall 10 out of 10 and a huge thumbs up to British ITV.

Kudos to Sally Wainwright, to Suranne Jones, and to Britbox for bringing this series to the US. It's only three episodes, but it's all meat and no filler as we get to know the characters. Suranne and cast are in top form, the dialogue is on point, and the story is compelling. I've never seen the Sandra Bullock remake, but it would have to go a ways to top the original. Worth a watch!

It is April 2020 and I am hiding from Covid 19 in a flat full of unwatched dvds. I finally sat down to watch this and did not expect it it be a great drama. I give no plot spoilers but it is very well acted and well written. The locations are great (Yorkshire).

Sally Wainwright correctly gets a lot of praise but perhaps this 3 part drama is not the most well known of her works?
