Sarah Lancashire's subtle but powerful performance is simply mind-blowing.

    I loved this series until the finale of season 2.I found the finale to be ear and eye candy,facille and smug.Everything was wrapped up in a pretty bow..Is this what good actors are for?

    It seems impossible to say enough for the unfailing wit and nuance of Sally Wainwright's script, or for the skill that shaped this mix of family melodrama and romantic comedy into the marvelous brew it is.
