I think Kate Winslet is a great actress, her accent was believable and the storyline kept my attention. It was a bit far fetched at times but it has to fit a lot in to a limited number of episodes. My main issue with it was its premise is very similar to a British show about 7 years older called Happy Valley - cop with a deceased adult child, now the guardian of their grandchild, divorced, husband moved on with a younger woman, chaotic lifestyle probably depressed, even wear the same plaid shirts. I still enjoyed it, just not quite as much as the hype around it. I much prefer the British show.
