This is.a heart-twanging story of 2 people coming together after both experiencing the loss of a loved one. Unfortunately it is more of a tick in the box exercise. It's a six parter that could have easily been a 3 parter. I don't believe.in Ben and Emma's love story, although. Harry Lawley's performance is standout. I usually love Jessica Barden in anything but here I feel she seems confused about how to portray Emma's grief. It was impassionate and felt flat. In fact this could have easily been a story about a young father's struggle without the additional Emma sub-plot. It's still a tear jerker, but the first episode is the strongest out of all 6.
