A prisoner consumed by guilt, an officer with an impossible choice. What does it take to survive? A tense story of punishment and principles, starring Sean Bean and Stephen Graham.

I watched the first episode last night, quite heavy watching but I was gripped all the same. All the cast are great, but Sean and Stephen are particularly fantastic and so watchable.

Yeh this is brilliant, would be so scary to be in prison like, you can’t reason with some of the nutters who are in there.

Exactly this, I kept putting myself in the position of Sean’s character and I definitely couldn’t cope. Only on episode 1!

I watched the first two tonight.

 

The problem with the ones in there most have serious mental health issues and so they can’t be talked to or reasoned with whatsoever. I deal with people like this working in the housing section of our department.

 

Second series is available to watch on iPlayer, this time set in a women's prison and stars Jodie Whittaker, Tamara Lawrance and Bella Ramsey.

 

Another incredible series! I binge-watched the three episodes, just couldn't get enough!

Series 2 was amazing!!

 

Jodie Whittaker deserves a BAFTA (infact so does Bella and Tamara. I liked that there was three stories to follow rather than just one in the first series. Just wish it was longer!

Really enjoyed Series 2 as well, my only gripe was it could've been longer
