I am not too keen on household dramas, but as I value Imelda Staunton and Stephen Rea, I gave it a go... The events appeared and developed with a distress (yet not as profound as in Nordic Noir), and in spite of the police not revealing the one who got hurt, avoiding he-she mentioning even, I realised soon that things were not as the creators attempted to lead the viewers´ attention, and the main "vice" and the motives behind were clear to me before long. Depiction of the issues of all family members was sometimes a bit much for the 4-episode series, and generation gap and unwillingness of children to see their parent remarry are no novel topics as well.
As for the performances, the "older" generation (Staunton, Rea, Annis) excel the "younger" one, although all the main characters and versatile and realistic and there are no underperformances... Bearing in mind the very last scene, one could envisage Season 2, but it is probably not the case here, at least I have not heard any hints.
"Only" 7 points as I hoped more of a thriller and less predictable moments.
