Top Notch
This was not a show that I expected to be blown away with, although I am a long term fan of Sarah Lancashire, and with Sally Wainwright involved I should have expected it to be good.
This is beyond good, if you don't get hooked and wanting more after the first episode you probably should not be watching.
There are so many good things to say about this show that I run out of words, but one word that sums up how I feel is gob-smacked.
Having watched 4 out of the 6 episodes so far, I have to say that it has been quite a while since I wished that the days would speed by so I can get my mitts on the next episode.
