The Split

Anything with Nicola Walker has to be top class, Last Tango for example.

A tour de force by Walker, with an outstanding supporting cast. The show becomes more and more of a soap opera as it goes on, but every once in a while there is a scene where she just blows you away.

I've loved every single episode of this show. The casting is second to none and Nicola Walker is breathtaking as Hannah Stern. The dynamic between the characters works on every level. It's a sensitive and difficult subject and you get to see all aspects of that across the series. The writer/writers got it spot on. Easily one of the best U. K. drama shows. It is an emotional roller coaster, heartwarming and sad. There are predictable elements that shock when it happens and then others you second guess and are left strangely disappointed that they didn't happen. Thoroughly engaging.

It's human, real, with no frills. Doesn't sweeten the pill and hits the nail on the head without turning into a soap. It's about everyday real life and (family) relationships. I'm also partial towards Nicola Walker whom I've watched in pretty much everything she's done - she's just great. Rest of the cast really good too. Would recommend.

The first series was a very well depicted portrayal of someone being deceitful within a relationship. The second series thankfully illuminates the damage that does to everyone involved. Very powerful and intense. Definitely worth a watch.
