This is the only TV drama I have actually seen with Helena Bonham Carter away from the big screen, especially with her husband Tim Burton. This is the true story based on the life of Jacqui Jackson and her seven children. Carter plays Maggi Jackson, the troubled mother happy to do nearly anything for her kids, especially because of their problems. The four boys of the family are the main reason why she is quite troubled, they all have social problems, e.g. Asperger's Syndrome, Hyperactivity. You can obviously sympathise with this mother because it is based on a real person. I can also kind of sympathise with the kid with Asperger's Syndrome, not just because I have it, but I know what it's like to be different and sometimes alone. Worth watching!
