I saw the first season years ago but then totally forgot about this show. Seeing it as an option on netflix I decided to give it another try and it did not disappoint. The first two seasons were soooo good followed by good season 3. It falls a bit flat after that. Being from a large family that lived on a council estate, I found this relatable.
Anne Marie Duff is brilliant. The chemistry between her character Fiona and Steve (McAvoy) kept me watching but it started to lack once they left. Maxine Peake's performance is both brilliant and hilarious so I stayed on until she left at the end of season 3.
I have got to season 5 and think I will give up now. Not the same but would definitely recommend seasons 1-3.
