plenty of better things to watch...
It isn't that all art has to say something I suppose...but the relentlessly downbeat quartet of stories here seems to have little to recommend it. Yes, I know there are lives this grim. So? Am I looking too hard for morals in stories?There is no significant link between these stories, as though there were enough "art" in a couple happenstance connections (that lead nowhere) to warrant telling them together. I was unmoved and unimpressed. There is some fine acting in episode one, but the other stories were hard to make it through. This portrayal of lower classes in London will always stick with me (and maybe that is enough for making a series?) but there is nothing here to recommend passing along
score 3/10
