Anybody watch 'The Virtues' , all very plausible unfortunately, the luvvies rave about Shaun Meadows and ive seen this show called a masterpiece, to me its very much the same style as 'This is England' film and the different series spin offs of this over the years. |  | | |  |

I haven't seen episode 1 but saw the following 3.
A bit long winded but watchable.
Stephen Graham is the new James Nesbitt, he could do with a break. |  | | |

Episode 1 was ok, episodes 2 & 3 were long winded, episode 4 was tense, the whole thing was all very arty and retro, I know there was flashbacks to an earlier time, the show was very earthy and hard hitting. | | | |

So your main critisms are that it is earthy and hard hitting. And the main actor has been in a couple of series. The series was superb as is most of Meadows output, save for a terrible faux documentary . |  | | |

Earthy and hard hitting was a compliment. | | | |

It could have all been done in one episode.
Graham needs to be careful in the roles he is picking on "traditional TV" it's all very "samey" from him. | | | |

Yes, I think so too, the show is excellent and no doubt will win awards [deservedly so], Graham was really good in the first episode but he has a lot of practice at that type of role. | | | |

I liked the Irish flow of conversation, spot on that was. Obviously a terrible subject but the scene in the last episode where Graham meets his sick abuser was very powerful. [Post edited 8 Jun 2019 10:18]

Yes, the young woman confronting her mother at the end was even more powerful imo. | | | |

Apparently they changed that ending with the young actress and the mother at the end after some first up private showings, goodness knows what they originally had for that scene. | | | |

I was expecting the tea cup smashed onto her head.
The guy who hung himself was an incredible actor. | | | |

I enjoyed, some brilliant acting. However, felt a bit disappointed at the end, felt like the story could have been a bit better. Felt like a twist was coming but it never did. |  |
