Broken - Jimmy McGovern's drama

Anyone watched this?

 

It might be one of the most depressing yet powerful shows I've ever watched.

 

Sean bean is brilliant and the writing (as always with McGovern) is brilliant.

 

Mr and the missus were kind of in shock at the sheer bleakness of the first episode. But it's very, very good.

 

BBC produced so on iplayer.

 

Any Catholics in denial about the history of sexual abuse should avoid - but weirdly I think it paints the Catholic Church nowadays in a very positive light.

Never heard of it, but you're receiving a Charles for bringing it to my attention, as I have enjoyed a bit of McGovern in the past...although the last Cracker was pants, but you can't win 'em all.

I think Priest still isn't available on DVD, which is a real shame.

Gave up after 3 episodes, got bored with it. 
Amazing how hot Anna Friel looked in episode 1, despite dressing like a skank and sporting a black eye and burst lip for part of it.


Bored?

f**k sake. I've just finished the third and was absolutely gripped.

We finished this last night. Absolutely superb.

A touch of 'it's a wonderful life' about the last episode. I'm not ashamed to admit having to wipe away a tear.

6 x 1 hour episodes. Intense but I highly recommend.

I'd be amazed if Sean Bean doesnt win a Bafta for it.

I'd agree with this

Hope you put money on that!!!
Well deserved win for the guy, he was excellent in this!!!
