That aside... as she walks away the mum is all of a sudden apologetic and saying "I'm sorry... I didn't know..." which is so far from the realms of realism for how ANYONE would be reacting in that situation that it jumps the shark completely. Let alone a character who has been portrayed as being blinkered and bigoted up until this point... was Jill's speech so poignant that it would somehow reach a freshly-grieving mother and change her entire worldview? No... it's not realistic human psychology... she would be angry, broken and incredulous and tell Jill to go **** herself. Would that be fair or reasonable? No. SHOULD she be sorry for her attitudes and what they have lead to? Absolutely. But realistically, would she be, right there and then having only just heard it? Nope... no chance. Again to be realistic, she would have completely rejected the idea that it was her fault in that moment, and if you want a scene of her having absorbed it and accepted blame, it would come months later after sitting with it and hours of introspection. Even having her angry as Jill walked off, and then one little extra scene of Jill receiving an "I'm sorry, you were right" letter a while later, would have improved the writing there. I know it's supposed to be a powerful scene but in terms of characterisation, it's not well written, which is a shame because the rest of the writing is brilliant.

I can’t bring myself to watch this, too many painful memories.
But I am so pleased this series has been aired. |

Episode 3 just completly broke me.
This needs to be up for every single award in the 2022 season. If it doesn't win a BAFTA or Emmy I will be furious. |

Episode 3 broke me. Genuinely the most upsetting piece of television I’ve watched in a long time.

I'd already watched this in full a couple of weeks ago but I know Episode 3 aired tonight and it's the hardest out of them all. Completely unexpected as well, which made it worse.

ok if that's all you're taking from the show that's thought provoking, captivating, heart warming and heart breaking all at the same time x

No provocation from me, I'm still watching it atm even though there are no songs from the 80s interludes.

Just binged the first three episodes and... well... I've been needing a good cry all week so that was a hell of a smack of catharsis.

I binged the whole lot in a night when it dropped on All 4 which probably wasn't the wisest move psychologically, but my God, what a series. Broke me. Amazing. Russel T Davies is a genius.
