    Why this show didn't run for longer beats me??

    What an amazing show I just binge watched the first season and it was amazing very realistic and very character driven. I can't believe t th is show was cancelled so soon. I'm confused I've just started the 2nd season and am all ready dreading that it will end so soon.

    Superb

    What a brilliant series,

    Superbly acted and directed.

    One of the best TV series I've seen in the last 5 years.

    Riveting. I can only hope there is another couple of series coming. There is no a single weak acting performance. Its realistic, its gritty yet tender. This series has hooks pulling you in from start to finish. Some of the acting is stellar. i cannot rate this show highly enough. Do yourself a favour and download the whole series. Like The Walking Dead...its one of those shows where one episode is not enough. English dramas are generally good but this is top shelf.

    Gritty Drama

    Absolutely Brilliant Drama , Great set of actors including Polly Walker and Ian Glein The pace never lets up, and move is a smooths chronological order Without spoiling anything , the assassination of a gangland rival is a unique piece of drama, You never see it coming

    Surprisingly good!

    I found this by accident and started to watch as there was nothing else on. It was so much better then expected though and had me gripped from the very start. I binged watched the first series and am so disappointed there were more episodes after season 2.

    All of the characters had their own stories to tell, all of which were gripping and believable. There are so many prison dramas about but it's very refreshing to see the stories told from such a different perspective.

    I often wondered what made a woman stay with a partner in prison and this definitely made me think twice about the families left behind when a loved one is sent to custody. Brilliant series.

    Fantastic!

    I cant believe I have only just discovered this fantastic program!!! Each episode is dedicated to one of the main women and the lenghts they have to go to, to get by without their husbands. Im not usually a fan of dramas with ensemble casts as they don't tend to take enough time to fully develop each character, but this one was different. Each of the main characters is fully formed with their own individual stories, not of which were clichéd. Every episode is well written and acted and there was even some laughs in there too! Pippa Haywood really steals the show as Harriet, a shy mother whose son is behind bars- every single scene with her in was just heartbreaking. I just wanted to give her a hug and tell her it would all be OK. I loved the way the main women supported each other through the ordeal of having a loved one in prison. If you like a good drama, then you'll love this! I hope the second series is as great!
