I knew it was a mistake to get drawn into this series. It's well acted, and makes you want to see the next episode, but the storylines are hellish, it's hard to like the characters, and everything is fraught and frantic.
If you want drama that makes you squirm with embarrassment at the way these people live their lives - whether the middle class or the underclass of the high-rise estate, then I guess you'll love this. And yet, it isn't 'gritty' or 'real' and doesn't portray either social group very accurately. The middle-class are cardboard cutouts, and the kids in the 'hood are a fantasy. Who are these people?
