Wow

Give Stephen Graham the BAFTA now, what an amazing actor and a powerful series this was. All actors in The Virtues were outstanding but Stephen... just wow

WOW!

Wow, wow and flipping wow! I have just finished watching the final episode and I have never been more emotionally invested nor transfixed by a tv programme in my life! This is an absolute masterpiece and deserves to win every possible award it can. Every single actor is amazing. The unspoken moments are incredible. The final episode is a rollercoaster, I came straight to bed (at 8pm) to recover! I really do hope there is a second series.

MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL INVOLVED.

Acting Masterclass

This show is gripping from the first minute to the last. The acting from all the leads, but notably Stephen Graham, Helen Behan and Niamh Algar is so real and so raw. Give them all the awards!! Shane Meadows is a genius.

Stephen Graham is truly brilliant

I had to watch this series, because Stephen Graham is great to watch. He bought this drama to life presenting such a humble character. It almost felt like watching a documentary in parts and Stephen really made you feel desperately sad for his character, Joseph and even embarrassed for him at times by his behaviour. This drama felt so real and I truly think that is down to a good story line and a first class actor who had given lots of thought how to bring the story to life. Marvellous

Stephen Graham is Amazing

Great first episode, Stephen Graham is an amazing actor that can pull you right into a story from the get go. No it's not all sweet and fluffy but that's the point. It's tragic and very realistic. Looking forward to the next episode
