What a freaking awesome show. I miss it. Helen Mirren's character was a fucking train wreck, and she was brilliant in her portrayal of a bitter drunk; stewing in absolute loneliness.

Agree without reservation.
Jane Tennyson is one of the all time great TV characters.
A worthy companion series (with a male protagonist) is Cracker with Robbie Coltrane.
Cracker was a cracking show. :pinch:
I've wanted to check that show out - and I always forget about it (thanks for the reminder).Quote:

Although the stories are standalone, the character development/interaction is linear and the impact of the series (particularly the second series) is intensified by knowing all the backstories.
The lead story of the second series, To Be A Somebody, is one of the most harrowing shows ever on TV.
