Meu Nome É

The acting in this amazing character study was supreme acting. worthy of the 10 stars as this is exactly what happens when a relationship can stupefy the person into thinking this is love. Love sure is letting go of control, emotional blackmailing . Hard watching but worth the effort of emotional carousel

There's not much cinema nor TV I'd watch a second time. These, just six, episodes I would watch again. Each of the six main female actors were outstanding in the women they played, in their delivery, in their moments of passion, anger, despair in six superbly told stories of women at a crossroads in their lives, lives complicated by love, by loneliness, by want and need and by loss and regret. Direction and production, down to camera work and lighting and soundtrack par excellence. Best TV series in a long time. Each of the six stories will stay with you for some time to come ...

I love British drama exactly for what makes it what it is, the hardcore, in-your-face realism. But this!? Some episodes are like, socio-horror if there's such a genre. To the point where it's not enjoyable anymore; I did come very close to turning it off on at least two occasions, luckily there is some let-up in the end with some of them like in series 1 episode 2 there's a somewhat positive outcome. So, it achieves really well what it sets out to do, but do we really want to watch for entertainment what already goes on in real life?

The themes to this series are all the same. 5 dragging tales of needy whiney neurotic angst ridden females. The only one worth watching was I am Kirsty with the excellent Samantha Morton which at least had some kind of point/plot.

The rest are just annoying dire and completely depressing.

... hard to know how to feel regarding these six one-episode-stories... each well-acted and produced... liking all lead actors, yet there feels a bit missing over-all-episodes... rating by demographic numbers showing that women like them consistently more than men, and that makes sense seeing each of these women had creative input.. so does each episode reflect more of the creator or each of the six leads-stars

... all-have-favorites... S1 E1 & S2 E6 (Vicky McClure & Lesley Manville) most incredible (Manville-notably-brilliant)
