Started watching it last night. It’s really good. Pity about only being able to watch series one, though. Wonder why the BBC dropped it? They did that with Ripper Street which was rescued by Amazon.

Oh saw Rafe Spall on stage, fantastic.

I really enjoyed it too.

I missed this first time round. I’ve liked pretty much everything that Rafe Spall has done so I’ll definitely give it a go.

I have binged watched the 4 series of this. It is really well made, and I think it is very believable regarding the social workers, and the system. Someone must have had a good insight to what goes on regarding this, and it shows in the script. I love everyone in the cast, and the main couple are an item in real life. Surprised it got moved from the BBC to Apple t.v, hopefully it will eventually all be shown on the beeb, so more people can see it.

Will check it out. I do like Imelda Staunton

Have just finished watching Trying and enjoyed it immensely - quite funny, but touching at the same time. Imelda Staunton is in the last two episodes and is so funny.
