A friend watched several episode of this on a flight going overseas. She knows how much I enjoy TV shows & movies from the UK and recommended it. Boy, do I owe her lunch!! I looked up the show just to see what it was about and saw Nicola Walker as a lead actress. I knew it would be good. I believe the very first thing I saw her in was Scott & Bailey - which I loved. This show is about a family law firm of female lawyers (mother & her 3 daughters, 2 are lawyers). Of course, the story line involves many exploits outside the law firm dealing with the family. The scenes well written and played out beautifully on the small screen. There are many scenes between sisters that no dialogue is needed - just like real sister's know, you know what's being felt. That's how well these actors are in these specific roles. Nicola Walker is at the top of her game but everyone in the show is great. The family turmoil & drama are realistic, so is the heartache & happiness of the characters. I would highly recommend this show. I can't wait for Season 3.
