Unforgiven

Ruth Slater, who was paroled after 15 years in prison for the murder of two police officers, is trying to return to normal life and find her younger sister, whom she has not seen since the day of her arrest.

A realistically sad plot. The main character needs to adapt to an unusual world for her. It is not necessary to count on the sympathy of others, her story is more likely to cause hostility, or even aggression. But most of all, she is not concerned about the attitude of others towards her, but about the fate of her only loved one - a little sister who was placed in foster care and, perhaps, no longer remembers the eldest. A much more serious danger is suddenly added to the rejection of society, legal and bureaucratic obstacles and the risk of returning to prison.

Well staged, filmed and mounted. Good dialogues. Great live characters. Suranne Jones again pleased with a very convincing performance. However, everything was played perfectly - wide, juicy, some scenes even with some anguish, but without theatricality, it is quite plausible.

It turned out to be dramatic, extremely emotional and diverse, from an almost heartwarming melodrama to a tense thriller. A very high-quality mini-series with a good, catchy and beautifully shown story.

Language. Situations and characters are very different, so they speak in a variety of ways, in pronunciation, in tempo and in complexity. However, I didn't notice any heavy accents at all, even the deliberately simple voice of the main character was not difficult. Subtitles won't hurt.

It's a good series, but for 2009 it was shot like a masterpiece.
Suranne - 💖💥

I wasn't particularly impressed. The plot is quite hackneyed, when some adult is serving time for a crime committed by a child. There are many such films.
