> [@River\_Hippie](#): > > I thought the actor that played Mare’s best friend, Lori, was a good casting choice and did a great job. Yeah, the only problem I had is I didn’t know who she was until after the show was over. Was she just a friend, sister, cousin? The relationships and how close people were to eachother in this show was very confusing to me. ---

The relationships and how close people were to eachother in this show was very confusing to me. The relationships and entanglements of a working class community were a large part of the show. It got confusing because it _is_ confusing and muddled; even for those operating within it. ---

Here’s Julianne Nicholson (from a Google Image Search) looking great in short hair! She has migrated onto my list of somewhat obscure celebrity crushes.

Gripping series. Kate Winslet captivating and other cast members lifts this series from just above ordinary to superb. Excellent acting all round with nearly all characters being fully developed. Predictable at times, but very compelling. Really enjoyed watching it. Cannot wait for Season 2. ---
