This set contains all 3 series and therefore is a little uneven. The first series is very good with a raw feel, good acting and earthy dialogue. The jewel in the crown however is the second series, Samantha Morton's performance is staggeringly good with excellent support from the rest of the cast. The story is well written and gritty with few real failings. It has to be said though that Series 3 is a disappointment; it has lost the rawness and edge that made the previous 2 series so good. Still well worth buying for series 1 & 2 though.
