As often occurs with British programming, I gave this show a try because of who was involved in it. In this case it is Suranne Jones, who I have followed since she exploded onto Coronation Street. It is not merely because she gives memorable performances in such shows as Scott and Bailey and Doctor Foster, but also because she chooses quality productions and hasn’t been in a turkey yet as far as I am aware. I see she she is also a co-creator for Maryland. As a bonus here, we have Eve Best, who did a star turn in the U.S. show Nurse Jackie and was more recently Wallis Simpson in Thr King’s Speech. And the ensemble cast doesn’t lose any mojo with Stockard Channing and George Costigan. Briefly, the story of two semi-estranged sisters reuniting to deal with their mother’s complicated death nd life, held my interest with its drama, slices of humor and small plot twists. I could even see watching the three-parter again someday, something I don’t say very often anymore.
