I finished this series over a week ago and haven't stopped thinking about it since.
Bottom line, this is one of the best shows I've watched in a long time. The story lines (including Father Michael's) were grim and provocative in one way or other, wholly relevant to the times. The actors performed with beautiful understatement, which made the whole production feel truthful and realistic.
I never paid attention to Sean Bean before but now want to watch everything he's ever acted in. He did a tremendous job along with Anna Friel and Mark Stanley. Paula Malcomson was divine.
As sad and depressing as it was at times, the ending packed an enormous punch, in a good way. I sobbed through the final scene and tearing up now recalling it.
Watch this show.
