Finished tonight.
Gruelling but compelling and a fantastic piece of work.
Sally Wainwright has the rare ability of writing dialogue the way people actually speak, not the way they speak on TV. It's a pity all her male characters are incompetent and or malevolent.
Sarah Lancashire was far from my favourite actress before, but she is absolutely brilliant in this. Not sure if there is a book on next year's BAFTAs, but she's a dead cert.
And to top it off, it's set in my part of the world, albeit over the border in Calderdale. Funny buggers round those parts.
