This piece of writing truly broke me inside and it made me feel so many things, anger being the main one. Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham's performance was nothing short of authentic and gut wrenching; they told this story with such care and honesty. They didn't shy away from the brutal truths of how the government really let the care home's down. The part on the radio where they were talking about how they had been looking after the carehomes really struck a nerve in me, it made me feel sick. The government is vile for letting these vulnerable human beings, these families in carehomes across the country, be totally pushed aside and left to rot. I thought Sarah's character was badass for taking Tony into her care and getting him out of a place that was only going to kill him. Tony was a beautiful character, I fell in love with him as much as I fell in love with Sarah. The part where he helps, you can see clear as day the man he truly is, he's a hero as Sarah said. Jodie Comer breaking the fourth wall at the end of the show hit me deeply, Sarah said is straight; we walk by these vulnerable people every single day and it's as if we don't have any humanity for them, it's sickening. Help when you can. Be better.
