That was a tense watch, the Scum reference with the pool balls was šŸ˜± Did I miss the reason why the officer's son was in prison?
 
Finished it. My nerves are shot!
It didn't go into why the son was inside, but I possibly missed it too. Makes you wonder how a lad who knows the system could end up there.
Awful in places, you could see the difference in those who want to be reformed, those who don't and those who can't.

I wanted to know this and didnā€™t pick up on what the son was in for either. They either didnā€™t show it or I missed it too.

My partner called me back when it was all done šŸ¤£

I think he was in prison for something drugs related. When they visited their son in prison in Ep 3 Eric says "I won't get caught" and then his son said "that's what I said"
 
Finished it last night and I absolutely loved it. I had tears streaming down my face when his Dad died; the fact he didnā€™t get to go to the funeral and then his mums wonderful speech about how his Dad was proud of him going to the police station and accepting his sentence. It was wonderfully written, directed and shot and just so believable. It was great to see a dynamic with parents and an ā€œgrown manā€, and loved that his Mum was there with his Son to see him released.

I had to leave the room when I thought he was going to get the drugs sewn in his coat, I was like ā€œno Sean Bean!ā€

Also really enjoyed that the prisoners who we met were in for horrific crimes with trivial meanings; the lad who stabbed another on a night out to save face, and the man who killed his best friend because he said he loved him, and the friend didnā€™t want that.

Quick question; Mark had to put gifts of his belongings. One was to Kav the bloke who found him after the pool ball incident and the other was to Paulā€¦ who was Paul again?

The scene where he missed his fathers funeral was heartbreaking. I think I cried ugly tears during that episode. I found the whole thing very emotional x
 
Oh my goodness.
Extreme emotion level: unlocked šŸ˜‚
The self harm, the kettle, the snooker balls, I was quite literally on the edge of my seat (occasionally hiding behind a cushion)! I even had a little cry at the last episode. Such superb acting, Sean Bean is marvellous as Mark. I just wanted to protect & hug him! I only wish there would have been more episodes, three is just not enough - a second series showing Eric doing his timewould be good!
