I read the book ages ago.
Just watched episode 1 (of 2).
They've messed with the timelines of the book, but that's OK.
I'm confident in saying, even halfway in, this is Martin Compston's finest hour. This is Tony Curran's finest hour. This is Ashley Jensen's finest hour.
Watch this, read the book, tough watch, tough read, but it......says so much about so many things.
Mag-fucking-nificant.
A harrowing watch at times, which just shows how good the actors were, they were all great but I thought Ashley Jensen was superb, especially in the scenes when she did not have any dialogue, her actions and face just captured what she was going through, and the typically "Scottish" moments were great also,
