Reviewed by Franziska GieseckeA beautiful premise. Two black women with very different backgrounds and characters try to survive the British mental health system. The dialogues seemed very natural and Merle's constant fight with her inner voice was beautifully written. Why was it such a drag though? I struggled to keep my attention up most of the time and felt that the characters had way more potential. Overall a phenomenal idea but disappointing execution.
