    The Virtues is the type of drama that the UK does best. It's a difficult watch. The viewer is made to feel deeply uncomfortable. There's no heroes or villians, everything is a bit too complex for that. Shane Meadows's work feels important, especially because it documents the life of people who are mostly poor, which is something that most UK drama avoids.

      Enough spoilers to warrant the spoiler tag? If not, feel free to remove it... but I just thought it was better to be safe than sorry. :)

        Ah, yes, definitely enough to need a tag. Sorry for not including it.
