I feel your pain.
I turn off the sound and look at my phone. The ads are much less annoying when you can't hear them but still annoying as fuck because they destroy the flow of the thing.

Just watched the final episode. Heartbreak all over the place. I realised how invested I was in the characters when in the last ten minutes the tension was so great that I had unconsciously put my hands on my head and was saying "don't wreck your life" over and over to both Joe and Dinah.
Such brilliant acting from everyone concerned. Meadows has done a superb job in what must have been a difficult task.
I'd like to think Joe will be unshackled from the past now but I highly doubt it. Closure isn't like that, if it's possible at all. He took a good first step towards living with it, that's all.
It reminded me of seeing my stepdad in hospital, quite far gone with cancer and not wholly with it. He'd bust his dentures and I looked at this little, old, fucked up man and told him he'd lost his bite. And that was it, Simple Minds started playing, I strolled out of there to be troubled never again by what he did to me; I even did a little jumping heel click in the carpark.
Of course that didn't happen because it isn't Hollywood and telling him he'd lost his bite was just a snippy, stillborn line, and I'm still carrying a lot of stuff around.

Just caught up. Harrowing. Made me think of all our broken-ness and hurts and when we were young and me and my brother and fucking, fucking cunting cuntiness that makes you want to fight or to cry.
(Am interested in my own reaction to Dinah's story in that I was willing Dinah to fucking punch her Mother!)
People not 'picking up' their phones; family always 'accuse' me of this.
Brilliant drama; brilliantly executed. Yeah, Shane Meadows innit..

Thought it was excellent, he’s a master at building tension.
