Broken

Yes, I watched the first episode and wasn't sure about it,  but found that after watching the second and third I thought it was very good, as you say a sensitive portrayal of the issues. Also though Sean Bean was excellent. 

We watched it and thought it was very good - but then I always think Jimmy McGovern's work is a cut above the average TV drama. Sean Penn as the priest trying to hold together a broken community was very convincing, though I wasn't convinced about the relevance of the flashbacks.

I'm also enjoying The Loch on ITV ( although since it clashes with Poldark I get banished to the bedroom to watch it on a small screen!)
