LTiH is made of excellent writing, superb acting and wonderful direction. This show and actors are the best on TV globally. Sarah Lancashire is a force of nature. Nicola Walker does the emotional heavy-lifting perfectly. Anne Reid and Derek Jacobi are masters at conveying honest heartfelt emotion. It is fair to say the entire cast is head and shoulders above the rest. All episodes are excellent.

I like shows that have realistic characters and are not always thinking about themselves. There are some drawn out scenes that I had to skip past, mostly Gillian getting drunk and revealing her secret for the umpteenth timd. However, it is funny that most of the time they are telling each others secrets.

The twists and turns of relationships in an extended family are marvelously dramatized and quite believable. Celia's view of her daughters love life is eons away from reality and allows no personal freedom. So ..constant breakdowns while everyone including Celias new love interest( a bit out of touch) seek some common ground. Great supportin cast!
