Julie Walters gets out of jail for killing her husband and immediately moves back to where it all happened. What could go wrong.The script has a choice to explore the deeper issues of parole, guilt, community reaction, and family repercussions. Instead it devolves quickly into a series of "revelations" that shunt it into Whodunnit land. It's not helped by an alcoholic remission that is thrown in to ramp up the drama, and then just as quickly shut down. Her character is never likeable, and when we find out what she was like pre prison we wonder what the point of the drama is? Whether she did or didn't do it fades away as a relevant issue. Even the best actors cant escape a bad script.
It would have fared much better as a series with issues revealed slowly so the interest could build.
