Brilliant and relevant drama
A great but sad story brilliantly written and executed. Excellent performances from Sheen and Horgan as would be expected but surprisingly surpassed by the two more junior starlets, Alison Oliver and Niamh Moriarty. Looking forward to the concluding episodes, it has me hooked from the start and is highly recommended.
The story and characters jump off the screen at you from the first scene with the parents on a short respite break which shows their humanity and close relationship but we are quickly dragged into a world where the couples relationship will be tested to the full. Katie, played excellently by Alison Oliver, is the older sister of Marnie, played superbly by Niamh Moriarty, and her own life struggling with teenage years and the lack of attention and normality from her parents who have to spend so much time on the medical needs of critically ill Marnie is an absorbing subplot.
The drama shines a bright light on the real life struggles of a family, a medical team and their contacts struggling with an impossibly difficult question to which there is no right answer. Excellent writing, directing and editing shine through, highly recommended.
