Really excellent although rather dark and depressing. It made me wonder if this is what most prisons are like!

I suppose that depends on what you mean by ‘looking after’ Glorianny,

Sean always seems to be in unhappy dramas.

Time, the awful Marriage, Priest, World On Fire to name a few.

Wish he could star in a ‘happy’ role, then he wouldn’t look so downtrodden and sad, and in desperate need of being looked after by his army of fans.

I've never wanted to "look after" Sean Bean. My thoughts go in entirely a different direction!!! grin

I have no desire to look after him grin. Someone else can take my turn to do that, and I'll take their turn to look after Aidan Turner, and I'll see he avoids that horrible haircut he's got in The Suspect.

Same here Grannybags although I did struggle a bit with Marriage.

I watched it the first time round and enjoyed it. Mind you I'll watch anything if I can gaze at Sean Bean!

I saw it first time round, but have recently watched it again (I rewatch things when I can't sleep, so I don't mind if I nod off).

It was very good, but showed the prison system as bleak and rather pointless. Hard men would come out harder, and more typical men (can't think of a better word) would go under. I can't imagine trying to survive in an environment like that, never mind find a way to be rehabilitated.

I realise this was a series from last year but I’ve only just watched it. Upsetting, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else seen it?
