Parents Nicci and Andrew face a huge decision, when Doctors suggest removing treatment from their seriously ill daughter, claiming that she's suffering as a result of being kept alive.
I'll start by saying this is a very tough watch, if you or a loved one is in a similar position to anyone here, this may prove to be an uncomfortable watch, as it does deal with an incredibly sad and sensitive issue.
This is The BBC at its best, this is an outstanding drama, I've said many times that drama works when it makes you think, question and feel, this show prompted several passionate discussions at work, all of us had different opinions.
It's evenly paced, sincere and perfectly believable, a scenario I'm sure a number of families have found themselves in. This takes on a real journey, you see the family experience from start to finish. All sorts of moral questions are raised.
The acting is off the scale, Sharon Horgan, I'm so used to seeing her in comedy, but wow she showa just how good she is. Alison and Noma Dumezweni are both first rate too.
Michael Sheen, I am certain he will pick up an award for this, it's hard not to watch and know that he's adding a touch of greatness, I have no doubt at all that one day he will be regarded as one of the best actors on the planet, it's a captivating performance as Andrew.
Brilliant drama.
9/10.
