Come Home

... an absolutely-wonderful three-part-series ... from start to finish there's nothing else will occupy your thoughts except the lives of all these well-written beautifully-acted-characters

... it's-just-terrific ... even knowing the ending when watching again it is still as strong a production ... to always remain one of the best of its genre.

There is so much happening in this small peek that we see for this family. There are some truly terrible decisions that are made by both parents, even though they perceived it as beneficial to the family. It is interesting seeing the perspective from each (his in the first episode, hers in the second) before it is combined a little more truthfully in the third. Honestly, I was caught off guard by some of the truths that came out, and was holding my breath to find out how it played out. It wasn't always easy to watch, life often isn't, but man was it realistic.

This was well written and compelling. I wanted to know more and how both main characters got to were they where. That said, the acting was phenomenal. There was a strong cast from the children who were wonderful to the main cast. Christopher Eccleston, Paula Malcomson, and Kerri Quinn took turns breaking my heart and making me angry, to giving me faith back in people. I realize that the topic of accents is an issue for many native Irish speakers, but as a non-Irish person the accents did not distract me.

Overall, I highly recommend this series. It's not light but it is satisfying.

So far after 2 episodes I like this drama. Like a previous post I wondered why the Irish accent? It didn't detract from the drama for me but I do understand, because if I watch something where it's meant to be in Newcastle I'm aware that the Geordie accent is bad. Overall though it wouldn't make me score 1 if the drama itself was good, and I think this one is. Christopher Eccleston is a very good actor.

I loved this. The acting was well done portraying the rawness of a family torn apart. It got my heart. Best show I have seen for a while.

It's warm, it's heart breaking, it makes you angry, and as a single parent who experienced a similar situation many years ago now......... this should be mandatory for ALL separating/separated parents who are arguing custody for their children!!!!! People often forget that it's about children and what's best for them!!! Not how they feel for &/or about each other!!!!! CHEERS!!!!! X
