I'm very loathe to give 10 to a TV drama but I have to make an exception. This is a wonderfully executed piece of television: spot on casting, beautiful nuanced acting from all the cast, great music and above all great writing and direction. Acting of the calibre of Ruth Wilson in this piece is rare to see but also Daryl McMormack's contribution is exceptional. It's a first rate television program and demands to be seen.
I have read other reviews, some only one star. All I can say to anyone reading this is to ignore anything less than a six star. Even if you had gripes about English folk playing Irish or issues about Irish history being trashed by a British TV program you can't miss the quality of the production. It's way, way above average.
