Just finished it and one of the best BBC series I've seen. Safe to say Sean Bean's acting has improved with age like a fine old wine with a sad ending bringing forth emotion from all that watched. I enjoyed Sharpes Rifles but a more wooden actor back then would have been difficult to find. His charisma pulled him through leading him on to greater things and was amazed Wilko Johnson took his head in GOT season one.Started watching Time last night and thought it very watchable. Said to the wife that the teacher sounded like Sean Bean with all his mannerisms. That's because it is Sean bean she said. My god if he's not aged since Sharpe's Rifles.

Fabulous acting from Sean and Stephen Graham, full on Jimmy McGovern full of the big themes in life. guilt, redemption, forgiveness. Its quite a difficult watch at times but it smacks of truth. Think you will continue to enjoy it mate.

It certainly made me think more deeply about the role of the state in punishing/rehabilitating miscreants.Just finished it and one of the best BBC series I've seen.

Steady on! It was good. It wasn't brilliant. The fact that I worked it out in the 2nd episode didnt help!MOE was brilliant,i can only imagine Mr Loaf is as miserable as he is mad.
I'd agree with FI myself, it's the best thing the wife and myself have watched forever. Neither of us guessed the ending though, so perhaps that coloured your view of it.Steady on! It was good. It wasn't brilliant. The fact that I worked it out in the 2nd episode didnt help!
Also winslet vaping... I'd had enough of that after 30 mins.
Started Katla on Netflix about 3 hours ago. Still sat here watching it. I'm absolutely glued to the sofa.
It’s a bit unfair to call somebody out for not thinking a tv series is as great as others do.I'd agree with FI myself, it's the best thing the wife and myself have watched forever. Neither of us guessed the ending though, so perhaps that coloured your view of it.
