Single Father Episode 1

I was going to wait until all four episodes of the new BBC Drama Single Father had aired before I watched them, seeing as how I would have to get them pirated from YouTube anyway, as I am in Texas.  But I couldn't wait to get my David Tennant fix.  I logged on to YouTube and found the complete episode, and I just finished watching it.

It was so good that within the first 10 minutes I had forgotten that I was a DTFangirl only watching to get her David Tennant fix.  I was fully invested in the lives of the characters.

It was a gut-wrenching, heartbreaking story.  Beautifully written and superbly performed.  I don't usually go for tear-jerkers, but the characters were so real I couldn't take my eyes away.  It told the story of Dave and Rita and their children and what happens after a very tragic traffic accident takes the life of Rita.

The story throws you right into the deep end within the first 5 minutes and from there you just have to tread water to keep going.  Just keep breathing.

I can't wait until next week.
