Reviews
-
★★★★ It is all beautifully played and beautifully put together and I am in, totally, for the duration.
Lucy Mangan — The Guardian
-
A gut-wrenching journey for the viewer, the dramatic tension was maintained by a fine cast and some elegant writing and direction.
Sean O'Grady — The Independent
-
★★★★ Christopher Ecclestone is reliably great in this family mystery.
Alistair McKay — The Standard
-
Like Eccleston, Paula Malcomson inhabited every aspect of Marie with naturalism. This cast was top level, and made this sadly recognisable portrait of a disintegrated family affecting and complex.
Louise Mellor — Den of Geek
-
★★★★ Knockout acting and a neatly observed script mean that Come Home deals with family break-up better than most family dramas.
James Jackson — The Times
-
A three-part drama of such quality to rival anything currently trailing from any of the BBC's many flagstaffs. Thrillingly well acted, unerringly scripted, this is seriously yer man.
