I am really enjoying this show. Well, enjoying. Parts of it are really harrowing. I also get the feeling-- from comments made by Ruth Wilson, who seems pretty knowledgeable about the situation-- that details of the laundries are quite true to life in the show. They also seem to correspond to things I've seen in documentaries.

One thing that did make me wonder was the idea that so many of the survivors of that particular laundry all seemed to live in the same community as adults. It that something that would realistically happen? Not that I would have problems with the show if that aspect turned out to be artistic license; I just found it quite interesting.

For me, this is definitely worth watching. I like the way they have combined police procedure with something resembling horror, and woven the police story into the laundry and village story.
