Yeah I thought it was pretty bizarre and dreadful too.

I felt that they could have come up with a much more believable 'accident' with higher stakes and more heart and emotion to it if they were going for the Grenfell/Aberfan theme than what they did. Young white people break into a regeneration project's construction site and die in a gas explosion doesn't exactly correlate to the Grenfell disaster, at all...

Like you said, I wasn't blown away by any of the performances and Sarah Lancashire really disappointed me. I wonder if she was struggling/unhappy with her accent and that had an impact on her performance. I read she tried to perfect the accent for 6 months so it's certainly something that didn't come easy to her as an actress despite (in my opinion) being one of the most talented actors on the television.
