Written by Jimmy McGovern so it's not going to give you that warm happy feeling inside. First episode is excellent tv and straight away I feel I'm beginning my prison sentence with the main character, Mark (Sean Bean).
The cast of characters looks great and acting is top notch. Looking forward to the remaining episodes. Solid 9 so far.

I'm going straight!! Best deterrent I've seen. Stella performances from Sean Bean and Stephen Graham.
The start of this 3 part series is particularly gruelling and you may be tempted to stop watching, but if you keep going you will be rewarded by a brilliant piece of drama and fine acting.
This is an engrossing watch, drama at it's finest. You wouldn't expect anything less from a production that features Stephen Graham and Sean Bean.
We watched all 3 episodes back to back tonight. Very well written, realistic acting and a very good storyline. Sean Bean and Stephen Graham are excellent as are all the cast. The ending is honest, nothing felt rushed and there was a hint of atonement at the end. Ignore the 1 star review that implies we're small minded if we enjoy it (Funny it being written by someone who admits they don't get Shakespeare). Make your own mind up. My only plot quibble is that the female chaplin walked around the main wing without any hint of protection from the guards. That didn't seem right or believable.
