I think this was one of the best things I've ever watched, I can't remember ever feeling so tense and worried for a character in a TV drama before. Stephen graham and Sean bean were both absolutely fantastic.

Just finished watching this, absolutely loved it and thought Sean was great.
Very emotional though, especially the funeral scenes. My FIL passed away very suddenly 6 weeks ago so there were a few wee tears shed!

Finished it this evening and was still crying long after the credits finished rolling. 
I know that it was fictional, but there just has to be a better way to reform non-violent offenders.

I prefer the second and third episodes, I donāt like McGovanās work at all, I think he over does the gritty stuff until itās just grim, he canāt do emotional depth either, just sentimentality, his work is too serious and predictable. Donāt like Stephen Graham either, but at least heās toned it down a bit for this. I think Sean Bean did a good job, maybe the character should of been someone who went to prison for beating his wife, as in Beanās case.
The series is/was so good. I couldnāt believe the ending when he was on the pier. I was all āI know that place, it looks so familiarā, only to find out they had filmed it in my town and Sean Bean had been here and I had no idea The Game of Thrones fan in me died a little

The incredibly talented Helen Black has co written a second series focusing on a women's prison with a stellar cast:
Ooh, this looks like it'll be good
Good first episode.
It was. Not a fan of Jodies hair though
Yes her hair was awful!
Iāve ended up watching the other two episodes on iplayer and Iāve been in tears
Tamara Lawrance who played Abi and Bella Ramsey who played Kelsey (both of whom Iāve never seen in anything before) were superb

I agree. I couldnāt stop watching until it was over. I want to know what happened to them all though!Yes her hair was awful!

I have watched all 3 this morning and for the first time in years a TV show has made me cry. It was superb.
Have you seen the 1st series with Sean Bean? That was a tearjecker too
I only watched the first episode last night, might have to watch the others too! Very gritty and thought provoking. Some disturbing scenes that I couldnāt get out of my head. Also - would someone with a first offence seemingly tame in comparison to the others, be locked up with murderers? Genuine question- I thought she would be in somewhere less high security.
Also agree about Abi and Bella
and that Tanya was a real piece of work!

and that Tanya was a real piece of work!Iāve just watched all episodes and just WOW. One of the best and the saddest things Iāve seen. The writing, acting, the twists and turns that made feel like I was there. When something remotely good happened and hopes were built, they were just brought back down to earth with a bang again.
Orlaās imprisonment was just senseless with the knock effects it hadā¦

It's a different subject matter but the co writer of this series Helen Black wrote Life and Death in the Warehouse which is well worth checking out on iPlayer.
