Featured review
I won't go into any details because you should watch it and make up your mind.
The acting is brilliant, you would hardly believe that Gemma Whelan was the same person that played Yara Greyjoy in "Game of Thrones".
The story was basically play by numbers, you didn't really learn anything new if you saw this on the news.
I do think this could have been a three parter. We didn't really see the aftermath other than a few shouty bits at the end. I really wanted to see the impact it had on the town at the end, but it seemed to end rather suddenly.
It would have been nice to see what happened when she came out of prison, but we saw nothing of this.
I will repeat however that the acting was top notch, but I was left a little disappointed with the story.
