Amazing. The actors were superb, Sean Bean and Stephen Graham demonstrate why they are two of the most respected names in the industry today with absolutely stellar performances and never let up for a second. especially Sean Bean. Well written with good pacing. A character study done to perfection, with every theme, nuance, and character nailed to a T. I cannot recommend this enough. Directed with excellence.

Adding a new one, just to clarify that TIME is one season the first. What they did with adding another season is abysmal and a shame for ruining this gem.

Terrific mini-series. Two separate stories overlapping and blending. If this doesn't keep you out of jail nothing will. 10/10

One of the best miniseries in a long time; phenomenal acting at work here. I was surprised it was only 3 episodes, I would gladly have watched a full season!

Jimmy McGovern is unmatched in writing brilliance - shining a spotlight on prisons a world away from what the Daily Mail would have you believe they're like - he paints a damning portrayal of institutionalised corruption with astounding performances from the always brilliant Sean Bean and Stephen Graham - few actors have a better track record of appearing in *good* stuff than Graham.
